Unfortunately, the battery in my digital camera was dead so I had to use the camera on my cell phone. It does an adequate job, but some of the photos turned out pretty grainy.
A few of the photos were not necessarily taken yesterday, but they were taken since we received the last big snow on Christmas Day.
My favorite photo of the bunch is the last one, which for the record should say, “Please don’t block driveway.” Somehow the spray painted word “block” disappeared. I suspect a conspiracy.
What the sign means is this … the streets are so full of snow that the plows haven’t been able to clear them all the way from curb to curb and since snow is piled high at the end of everyone’s driveway, they can’t turn sharply enough to avoid the cars parked behind them on the street. And for whatever reason, people who park in the street aren’t taking this into consideration. So many of them are parking directly behind driveways and they don’t really need to. Hence the sign.
Anyway, here are the photos of the aftermath from the 2009 blizzard(s) in Omaha:
Update 9:34 AM: I found several more photos I’ve taken over the past couple of weeks:
