Nope, Bev, you're not the only woman in the suburbs who shoveled the yard. I'm 
in the northern burbs, but I definitely did. I also had to do the front, since 
Evanston is aggressive about fining if public areas of the sidewalk are not 
cleared within 24 hours of a 4" snowfall. My backyard has 22" without drifts, 
and areas of up to 5 feet where there are drifts. I couldn't open my back door 
this morning because the snow was chest-high.

Basil is not happy...

Well it dun snowt. An snowt. An snowt. An windied. An  windied. An Snowt.
An it dun dat all nite. An den dis mornin, we all  Houndies get up all rested an 

needin to go ousside, an Mama kickt da door open  an....WHOA! uH....
MomPerson hed gone out earlryr wif a shovl, an shovlld  a liddel path for we. An 

i meens liddel. Sum places da snow were ober we heds.  We staid on da peths.
Lader, affer brekfuss, MomPerson wented out an shovld  all arount da yard an 
shovlt poop places an liddel turnarounds. We deservet  it.

MomPerson says: I may be the only woman in the  surburbs who shoveled her 
backyard, pretty much. The largest drift I measured  was 31 inches and the 
general depth in the backyard seemed to be about 16".  I sent some photos out to 

a friend who said it looked like about 6" and I  couldn't figure it out until I 
began shoveling and realised the boys  didn't sink all the way down. (I did: no 
comments  please.)
The boys have been happy playing outside. I figure  better today than tomorrow 
when it is supposed to be......TEN BELOW  ZERO.

LOve and drool to all in need.
May everyone be warm, be  safe, and be happy.   Ok, Ok, warm an safe.  Happy is 
a lot to  ask.
