So much to clear

Maybe we didn’t get the two feet top end the weather folks had warned me about when we were heading into the storm that came to our neck of the world last weekend. No matter the final count. When I went out front of A Bitty Better in our Galeville neighborhood in Liverpool on Sunday…

And it’s still coming down

The TV weather folks are telling me this Sunday morning that we’ve gotten 8 to 12 inches. We can expect another 4 to 5 inches as we go about our business around Syracuse, N.Y., this Sunday in late January, 2019. How much did we get, exactly, since I cleared everything off Saturday around A Bitty…

Before the big snowfall

With all of the weather forecasts telling me we were in for as much as two feet of snow between 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday, I decided it would be a good time to take stock of how the front and back looked at A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville…

Ready for the long rake job

I know how hard my colleagues who handle the custodial work at the Liverpool Public Library work to keep the building in tip-top shape. When I saw the size of the roof rake after the last big snow, I pictured how hard it must be to get that thing up there and scraping. Bravo, Annika…

I’m getting tired of these big snows

They say the Northeast may get hit by another snowstorm Wednesday. I’m not over last Friday’s slam. This yo-yo effect, melt-and-more, is getting to me.

That’s our pile

The snow out back is knee-high

The backyard snow so far this January 2018 at A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville has been off the charts. Last winter, our first here, I seemed able to keep up. This year, not so much. I mean, look at what crept up last weekend. I did manage a path out that…

My shoveling success

So far this snowy January 2018 around A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville, I’ve best been about to keep up with the side yard. So that’s where we’ve been letting Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle go in and out the most to take care of her business. I do not have to…

Big snow in the front yard

I’ve heard that folks in warmer parts don’t mind seeing snow shots from around A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. This past weekend’s weather wallop piled the white stuff up in our front yard. Note where the plow has had to go with the stuff taken out of our driveway.
