Holy Cold Batman !

WoW, It hit hard these cold temps, we dipped down to  - 5 below ZERO !!!!!    It was cold and on top of that we got hammered with our first winter storm !    We got 6 inches on the level and some drifts!  .
.
.
Our Village of Deferiet has it's own Snow Plow w/ Sander and a Pickup truck with a Plow and Sander and a Trash Truck. 3 vehicles in our fleet !  This is the plow coming up the street at 8AM !!
.
.
The plow coming back down the street and plugging our driveway !!!!
.
.
My Honey went out and shoveled,  She enjoys the shoveling as it is good exercise for her lower back and hip where she had her back surgery !  I did housework which was a fair trade off as it hard for me to breathe outside with low temps!.
.
.
It is against the Law not to shovel your sidewalk if you have one, usually there is a warning and then the Police come, give you a ticket and court date, some villages can fine you up to $250.00 for unshoveled walk and they do.  This Trooper was giving out a "Warning" !  Then he stopped here to say Hell'o and then next door as my neighbor is a State Trooper !
.
.
My Honey checking in to see if the Dishes, Laundry and Dusting were done !!!!  LoL !!
.
.
Metal Edging on the rood lets the accumulated snow and ice pop and slide off, the Panels are 2 X 2 foot, raised up about 4 inches in the center, after the snow and ice push them down they "PoP' up forcing the snow and ice off the edge of the roof!!
.
.
If you can see it, I have several nice "Winter Roses", Roses are kept in a cooler at a Florist and up here if you have rose bushs you usually have a few winter roses to cut and give to your Honey and they usually are all gone by Christmas !
.
.
The other Rose Bush with a few roses on them, My Dads Rose Bushs have dropped their leaves and gone dormant for the winter, these bushs were here and I trimmed and shaped them as they needed attention !
.
.
Off into the East we get some Beautiful Sunsets, this was about 5:30PM and if I had a better camera you would see the reds and Orange,  "Red Sky at Night, Sailors Delight" !
.
Hope all our Veterans remembered 11/11/11, Never Forget !

WOW. this skeers us southern folk. Enough that we hear Florida calling. LOL I didn't know of the sidewalk REQUIREMENTS and fines. I can see the reasoning but to us down here that seems drastic.
Your sweetheart looks cute bundled up! I am glad to see you are inside, however it is hard to believe!!!!! Probably that cute lady set the RULES! LOL
Stay warm
