Digging out after 3 ft of snow last week

Digging out the snowmobile pretty much busted my chops yesterday.  It took 2 hours to get it completely dug out and up to the cabin, and by the time I was too exhausted to get much work done.  I shoveled the decks and took some measurements for stair rails. And I only had an hour before I had to leave to return home for my daughter's basketball game.

My snowmobile was burried just in front of the red ATV you can see to the left of the STOP sign.

The green snow stake marks the front of the snowmobile.

3ft of snow since last Saturday.

The beginning of digging it out.

Even after all the digging, I had a hard time freeing the snowmobile. A friendly neighbor had pitty on me and helped me pull it out.  We each grabbed a front ski and pulled it out manually. Trying to drive it out just had the track digging deeper in the snow.
NOTE TO SELF: When you let someone borrow your snowmobile, make sure you tell them to fill in the hole with snow after they dig it out. 

So that it looks like this when you leave:

Over 30 feet of snowfall this year.

Entrance to the stairway is a bit precarious.

The now is now well above the front deck. This is the side where the roof sheds.

No caption necessary.

Here's a time lapse over the last few months.
