Life Lesson #326: Short people should not park their tall cars outside during a snow storm

We’ve had quite the storm here in the Denver area over the last few days. The snow started falling Tuesday evening and is just now tapering off as of early Thursday afternoon.

This is my back deck. The actual measurement is 20 inches.

Some of the trees are having a hard time coping.

And our maple hadn’t gotten around to losing its leaves yet. It will probably lose some branches instead.

Another tree has lost its leaves and the snow on the branches is simply stunning.

Even the trucks were having a tough time:

But the real trouble was that my minivan was parked in the driveway. It’s tall. I’m short. It was not fun to clear off.

    I object to the word “short.” It’s demeaning. I believe the proper wording is “vertically challenged.”

    Wonderful pix. I’m jealous. I miss snowy winters. Of course, it’s not quite winter yet, is it?

    I like that I can’t tell if the license plate is purposefully blurred or if the snow did it. :)
