0128-blizzard
The blizzard dumped snow on New England from Sunday to Wednesday morning. The Outer Cape got 18-24 inches. I had an MRI on Monday and doctors appointment on Wednesday that I had scheduled in CT and so was at Jo-Ann's house while the snow fell. Tara went to Judy's house since Judy has a generator. I had an eye doctor appointment Thursday morning so drove back Wednesday afternoon.
Three daus of snow, with blizzard conditions at times, was too much for the plows on the Cape. The Mid-Cape Highway (Route 6) was fine. The state highways like Route 39 and Route 28 were in poor shape with a lot of sloshy snow from being driven over. Local roads were in terrible shape. Our street was just over a lane wide. I drove off the side of the road by the house, got a shovel and shovelled the end of the driveway where it had been plowed in. I then drove the Audi into the snow covered driveway until it was off the road and good and stuck. I took these photos after that. I was running out of daylight so I dug the car out the next morning. It took longer than I thought it would and would have missed the eye doctor appointment if anything at all on Cape was open.
The car doesn't look like its in such deep snow. It has only 4-6 inches of ground clearance and a unibody. I drove it in fast until the wheels spun so it is sitting on over a foot of snow, packed down by the car's weight. I had to shovel under it the next day to get it out. The front is in deeper than the back. The driver door pushed away snow when I openned it to get out.

I had shovelled the very end of the driveway removing the snow piled by the street plowing and then ran the truck back and forth over the snow to pack it down. This was at the limit of the depth the truck could handle, well over the ground clearance of the differentials but it only got stuck twice when I first started out. After that I picked up Tara at Judy's house and got her Prius home and back into the driveway. The next day I shoveled the deck by the house and near the garage doors. This was the first non-shoveling day so I took some photos of the snow.

0224-glaciers
All but the last few photos are taken at Skaket Beach which is on Cape Cod Bay. The bay was frozen beyond the horizon. The high tide brings water in where it freezes. When the tide goes out, the ice breaks up into ice bolders making it look a bit like a glacier.
The last few photos are taking from Orleans Yacht Club parking lot, facing Town Cove in Orleans. Town Cove has a more smooth layer of ice. When NRHS sailing team was ready to start practice in the first week of March they had to wait for the ice to melt.

0302-turkeys
This is a group of regulars, stopping by from time to time for a few years, mostly in winter. I went out to clear the ice and snow off the boat and the turkeys had come to visit.
The deep snow makes it hard for them to feed in winter. I had bought a 50 pound bag of cracked corn earlier and left a few small piles. I went inside and came out with a few bucket and made new piles. Not only were the turkeys unafraid, they stood 4-6 feet away ran toward me when I dumped the second bucket.
The scuppers had some ice that I needed to clear so I spent a bit of time on the boat. The turkeys completely ignored me.
