Ridiculous

Snow management is starting to get a bit ridiculous on our street. I'm interrupting the "Snow Shots" series to post one photo that illustrates the meaning of ridiculous.

That's our neighbor's car parked on our sidewalk. I snapped that photo through our bedroom window on Thursday. A side-by-side duplex sits next to us, and the folks on the side close to us have no driveway or garage. Since parking on the street is prohibited in the evenings during the winter months, it's necessary for our neighbor to park on our sidewalk (a common sight up here). The snowbanks on our driveway look even worse. It's IMPOSSIBLE to see down the road in either direction when backing out of our driveway. You just have to creep out a little bit, creep out a little more, a little more - and go for it - a huge leap of faith!

Also, see the house across the street? That house is dark brown. The white on the siding is all snow. I have no clue where those people live during the winter, but they haven't been here since early November. 

All is still well in the Keweenaw!
