It's been several months since I've made a blog entry. Well, since we were experiencing possibly the worst part of the year's winter, I thought I would take these pictures using my Kodak Zi8 in still picture mode. This post has the most pictures and text compared to my earlier ones. Note that this post was originally created on February 2nd. You'll see the info and pictures that were later on added.
Taken in the morning of January 24th. We were managing to put up with the freezing cold by using electric heaters. The furnace can heat water but not the whole house. It'll be fixed after winter. I don't think I've ever seen this thermostat read that low before.
The following pictures were taken on February 2nd
Looking out the kitchen widow. You can see some very long icicles hanging down.
Looking through the water closet window (that's what I deliberately call a modern bathroom (or outhouse) as in the Victorian era). As you can see, I've taken this picture vertically to get the whole window, as well as the very long icicles.
That Craftsman Snowblower always came in handy when dealing with a lot of snow. This year, we've been using it more than ever.
Some cars in the driveway cover with snow. The icy layer was rather easy to break apart by pounding fists and pushing it off the cars.
Looking out the front door and to the right.
Looking towards the back yard.
Here's a good view of the very long icicles at the back of the house.
Notice how foggy it was that day.
This is where we temporarily store some recyclable stuff. Here, the containers are hidden under the snow (and ice).
Here's that Craftsman Snowblower, again. That car you see was a pain to get it out of the icy part.
We had to dig the snow out of the bed.
The following pictures were taken on February 3rd
Whenever we go down to the garage, the temperature would be slightly below 40 degrees (Fahrenheit)
In the garage, it was cold enough for storing some foods and stuff we would normally store in the fridge.
This fridge needed to be repaired, which is why we stored the food downstairs. Here's one side of the fridge.
...and this is the freezer side.
This little one is working.
We can store certain things in there.
These were taken on February 15th (after the fridge got fixed and a few "warmer" days)
This was taken in my bedroom shortly after I got up for the morning. I was able to put up with temperatures that low (maybe even a few degrees lower) while sleeping overnight.
Taken downstairs on "ground level". That's a long shovel used for getting snow off the roof. I don't think we've used it this year.
Here's that kitchen window view again. By that time, the very long icicles were not there.
This is where we saw the very long icicles on Feb. 2nd. As you can see, it ain't there. But yet, it was below freezing on Feb. 15th.
I managed to walk on the ice while taking these pictures, not even slipping.
According to the weather forecast, after today (Feb. 15th), looks like spring may finally just begin.
Well, that's about it for these pictures. Thanx 4 chekin them out.
