More of the same

The weather forecast says sleet, but that's not sleet. That's snow. MORE snow, on top of the snow that's on top of the snow that's on top of the ice that covered the snow... You get the idea, and you probably have the same at your house.
This is a photo of my front steps. Can you see them? Or the sidewalk or road?
Yesterday, I cleared the back door and a few feet of that walk. I figured I could do a bit more today and maybe get to my patio, where my walker is safely stowed under the awning.
Nope.
Guess I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. Broom will kick some of the snow out of the way but refuses to fly in this weather.
Maybe the Maple Leafs will finally win the Stanley Cup again, because hell seems to have frozen over.

I hope you find something to do at home today. That's a lot of snow!

Yeah, I'll just roam the 'net and then read when that gets too boring.

Hope you didn't get too much: it's cold and white and you can get stuck in it.

It's the kind of weather you're talking about that makes me appreciate the warmer temperatures I get to live with. I am cold but it's nothing compared with what you've got to contend with.
I hope the sun will warm your area so that ALL that snow melts and no new snow will fall for a while.

That's a lot of snow... I hope it starts to melt soon so you can get out and about.

Maybe, if I can trust the long range forecast, 2°C/36F on Sunday...

@BarBaraPrz We're supposed to reach 10C by Sunday. I hope you don't need to go anywhere before it melts off.

@DaddyEvil Oh, 10°C would be lovely! And it would have to be at least that warm for any of this to melt.

It is. But at least it's not being added to this morning. In fact, I've noticed a couple snow caps on fence posts are shrinking.
