First Storm







WOW!!! That was quite a storm that came through in the last 48 hours. I'm not sure how much snow it actually dumped but we shoveled the driveway out twice yesterday and you can see how much we got last night in the photos above taken this morning. The top of the garbage can is my measuring gauge. It's pretty accurate as to how much we get even with wind. The wind was pretty high and drifted the snow. You can see how high it drifted against the garbage can. Yesterday it was completely clear around it!! It must have been a north wind last night because the front of the house (which faces north) is whitewashed from it.
My parents are on their way here from Colorado and got stuck behind road closures just an hour east of here. There are several ways around that particular spot but they were all closed due to drifting snow from the high winds. And there was a jack-knifed semi-truck on one of them, too. The plows are working hard to get the roads open and Mom and Dad should get here sometime before noon.
I LOVE WINTER!!!!!!!
