Blizzard 2010

By MAD21

Well, I am happy to report that we survived the storm. I can only give an estimate as to how much we actually got at our house, but it was well over two feet.

We spent the entire day yesterday trying to find our driveway, dig out hubby's car, and start on the sidewalks. We also went down and helped two other neighbors. Thankfully, one of them brought their snowblower down to our house and helped us find the end of our driveway, which of course, will go totally missing again once the snow plows begin work in our development--I'm wondering where all that snow from the road is going to go.... I'm guessing we will have huge mountains lining our roads...

The screens on the windows were covered when we woke up, and the snow was piled up against the sliding door on the deck. All of our bushes were just covered in heavy snow.

The Day After

SNOWDAY ~ DAY 2

There are few things more beautiful than a sunny, gorgeous day after 36 hours of snowfall/blizzard conditions. The snow is still too powdery to build our snowmen, but it's perfect for building our fort and trail for sledding (which we did after shoveling our driveway and sidewalks... again).

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

As most of you know, the east has been hit with several inches (feet) of snow in the last 24 hours. Our area is only about 13 hours into it with at least another 16-17 hours to go and we already have over a foot. It's so much fun!  It's all powder, so no snowmen or forts yet (that will be tomorrow!). But we've already done one round of shoveling and a few hours of sledding down our hill. I thought I would share some of what it looks like so far. The pictures look a little fuzzy, but that's because the snow is still coming down like crazy.

Blessings to all. Enjoy!
