Anybody want some snow?
And yes, that green thing in the middle that's poking through is my paper box. Four inches more and you wouldn't see it.
I'll take 5 lbs, please.

And now nearly all of the snow has melted, plus it's been raining, and my folks have no hot water because their basement is flooded and the water has gotten high enough to submerge the burner in their water heater. SMH.
They've always had issues with water in their basement during heavy rains and snow melts, and the water heater is up on a small stand because of it. This flooding is terrible, though. More than a foot and a half deep. Over the tops of our barn boots. Ugh.
Unfortunately, it's a very old farmhouse, and the basement floor, though concrete, is uneven. It does have a drain near one corner, but it's the corner that's the highest, of course. LOL. They REALLY need a sump pump, or at least a utility pump that sits on the floor that they can plug in when they need to. My basement has a pedestal type sump pump, and it's been working overtime over the last couple of days.
