That would be a heating duct in my house ... and it is filled with water. We just discovered that when the ground becomes saturated with water (which happens when it rains for 2 days straight and gobs of snow melt) that our duct work fills up with water. Wonderful. We've been sucking it out with a ShopVac for the past week (yes, it continues to trickle in - although it is much more under control than at first).
Exhibit #2 of the grossness of February:
Last week when I took this picture I thought it was terrible that it was snowing so much that it was building up in front of our front door like this. Now I know better. I should never complain about the terribleness of the white stuff. Mother Nature may decide to have a good laugh at my expense and do this
Yeah. That's a whole lot more snow than the first picture. In fact, when I was looking back tonight at that first picture I thought to myself, "Wow, that's hardly any snow at all." This last picture was taken tonight while it was still snowing. Here's some more evidence of the ridiculous amount of snow we have gotten, and are continuing to get, today.
That's our living room bay window, which is probably about 3-4 feet above ground level. Yuck. I hate snow. It looks beautiful in pictures, so white and clean, but driving to school/work tomorrow is going to be a nightmare. Driving home from work this afternoon was a nightmare. Ick.
