Snow Day!

Well, the promised storm DID arrive. The snow blew in just about the time it got dark last evening, and lasted through the night. For much of the night it was blowing sideways, and it was hard to tell this morning exactly how many inches we had gotten.


We took the day off school, like our public school counterparts. It took us several hours to dig out the driveway, working in shifts. We played in between. :-)




Parts of our yard had very little snow, and other parts had huge drifts. The pictures really don't do it justice!



The depth beside the whole length of our front sidewalk was a pretty consistent 10-11 inches.


Front of driveway, before shoveling. Notice the car tires? Almost completely visible! Yet off to the left was a huge drift up against our garage door.

Sidewalk up to our porch, before shoveling. You can barely tell anything is supposed to be there.

It was a bitter storm, but sure looked beautiful today! We all enjoyed it immensely, and then came inside and enjoyed our nice warm house immensely too!
