More Pictures from the Neighborhood

Last night I posted a picture on Facebook of me posing with a snowbank with the caption "Because this never gets old!"  My cousins in Seattle asked to see more pictures so I snapped some pictures and took some videos on the way to the rock gym today.

It really doesn't get old!

Look at how wide the snowbanks are

Epic sized snowbanks

 Yesterday, we saw a funny interaction between an older gentleman and the valet/host for a local restaurant.  Each man was on either side of the snowbank trying to carry on a conversation, but they couldn't hear each other through the walls of snow.

This is a parking lot. They pushed all the snow against the fence.

Some snow humor

You can't even see the building from the street

Serious icicle problem

I wanted to capture the claustrophobic feeling of walking down the sidewalks surrounded on both sides by walls of snow.

I thought this video of one of the side streets on my way to the rock gym pretty much summed up what it's like around here.  Stick with the video until the end, where I can't find a path to the street.

I've actually had a really great time roaming around the neighborhood taking it all in.  I don't have to commute this week, and really don't have any schedule, so it's not a bother to me.  I think I'm actually going to be a bit sad when it all melts.  I feel like the last four weeks have really been historic and I feel like it kind of brought the whole neighborhood, tire slasher aside, together.  

The kittens on the other hand, can't wait for their humans to return to a normal schedule so they can have the house to themselves.

Denali is getting annoyed by all the pictures I am taking of him
