There's a story in this photo:
1. I am not shoveling the waist deep snow that I am supposed to be shoveling, but standing in a narrow path that I shoveled to take this photo that shows how deep the snow was.
2. The photo was taken with a point and shoot camera that was propped on the handle of the snow shovel that I was supposed to be using.
3. Yes, I was chilly. I was not dressed for warmth, but for not getting too warm while shoveling, which I was not doing.
4. Notice the knee of my snow pants. A large tear is repaired with duct tape, the first choice of discerning Alaskans everywhere.
5. When I actually got around to shoveling, the only part of me that was cold was my right hand. That was because I kept taking it out of a glove to take photos.
6. The deck eventually got cleared. By that time, the first half of the Steelers/Patriots game was over.
These are the things that kept distracting me from shoveling:
 |
| Oh, look at the pretty mountains. |
 | |
| It's 15 degrees! How can this tiny icicle be dripping? |
 |
| The tiny icicle is center right. |

| Looking down on the back deck below and the way the snow curls off the top rail. |
 |
| More snow art. |
 | |
| Oh, you have to take a photo of that mountain. |
 |
| And those, too. |
 |
| More snow art. |
 |
| Done. |
