My friends and I would snitch a few of the slats to get a fire going when we were sledding.

yup,those were the ones.The wooden slats might actually be what we had here--more like this and they rolled them out. These look more familiar.
There's still some wooden slat fences around here...and on June 3rd you can drive by these fences and see where snow has blown & compacted...probably later than that even although June 3rd for sure. I think it's almost beer-thirty for me. I'm whipped. Drenched, my arms and shoulders are aching from raking and chopping that snow. Have it a bit more than 2/3s done and the last eight feet of the roof is on the far end where the land falls away--we've both walk-out basements on that end of the house--so if I don't get out there tomorrow to finish it up...maybe it will be alright. I wonder if I can drop a bill in his mailbox? 
$2.2 million. Tell him I'm from the gov't and mean well. I'd even give him an early-payment discount...knock a cool million right off the top. This is getting old, though...he's rarely there and I'm not sure who is there now...they show up around holidays. Nobody shot me so all is well and all manner of things are well.

had to smile- these are what are used to prevent beach erosion on many Fl beaches. Snow is so much prettier than sand!
Here in Finland we have this kind of fences too...
But it's not for snow, it is for elks, so they not run to the roads.

When I lived in Michigan. We lived by Lake Michigan in the Grand-Haven area and they to used these fences on the beach.

Here we have ice fog today, hanging low over the city. It made an interesting sight when driving over the bridge!
Speaking of orange plastic snow fence, my husband decided to put in a new lawn out front and to protect it from people walking on it he put this orange plastic snow fence all around the yard until the grass seed rooted.
So imagine my surprise when I looked up our address on Google and saw that the Google camera had gone by and taken a picture of our house from the front, surrounded by bright orange snow fence in the summer time! Great timing Google!

We are being battered by severe gales and heavy heavy rain here. It's done all sorts, thunder, lightning, hail for days with more to come this weekend. I have a leak in my top bedroom ceiling, stream looks like it's going to breach it's banks in my garden, and in my home town of Hastings East Sussex, part of a cliff has come away, crashing down onto the beach below. No one hurt. It's apolyptical. Still at least it's not snow (typical English stiff upper lip poking up there).
Silly, horrible, gross weather... hope you can fix the leak without too much trouble and that the stream stays within its banks... be safe there Claire.
Thank you Flake... our country is hopeless. The slightest bit of inclement weather and the whole place grinds to a halt. God forbid we should have a centimetre of snow.
I think in this case, I would prefer the snow. As long as it wasn't wet, heavy snow.
The new snow-blower works great! We got about 6" overnight, small flakes. I think there's an Eskimo people that have about thirty words for snow...we've got one...not this schiest again. But there are different kinds of snow that we know too well. Blower was able to throw it far...far. Had to adjust the angle so I wasn't throwing it in the new neighbor's driveway. Heh! The snow banks alongside the road are easily eight feet tall or better, the one looks like a white freight train as I've got a path on the sidewalk buried under a compacted layer of the white snuff. Yesterday when I ran to Dollar Bay I'd seen that the highway grader had dropped his wing-blade and cut down the banks on either side...and some day soon...I hope...the Village will swing by with this big Sno-Go and take the banks...they blow them into 12-yard dump trucks and haul it away to a place where they deposit it. Warmed up too so we won't be sweating so much today...about 20 degrees F. yippe coyote.
Winter in Fl. 44F/7C at sunrsie. might make the 70 mark with little sun. Sunday will be near 80F-- go figure and then the deep plunge of 20 at night and 50 day. Should last about three days of that cold. Need to get the old blankets out to cover the well.
Walt- the new snowblower sound like a winner!

Hi Spidey and Walt - How do? I can just picture Walt pushing his bright orange snowblower - sounds like a winner, Walt! (oh sorry - just repeated what Spidey said - my mind is not the sharpest, even on my second cup of coffee)
It has warmed up to minus 22 here and there is another accumulation of snow to deal with. The plows were up and down the street last night - giant behemoths with flashing lights.
I went out to plug in the Jeep so it will start easier in this cold. We actually got up to minus 13 yesterday but had a lot of snow coming down. Have a great day folks! (I miss Cowboy - he used to say that all the time).
Who is in the picture, Haunted?
