SNOW!

It definitely fell in capital letters around here last week. It took local schools 2 days to clear roads and sidewalks enough to be able to get kids to school. Many people were stuck at home due to drifted in roads (like my hubby and at least one of my uncles), or because their workplace had no power (like my dad). 

This is the view out of our front door when we woke up that morning. That's a 3 + foot drift!

Front-of-the-garage drift compared to hubby's car.

 After a bit of digging. This stuff was packed solid!

And boy did the kids have fun playing in it!

End of our driveway. That's how drifted the roads were. 

Mailbox. Now that the plows have been by, you can ONLY see the box part. The pole has disappeared entirely.

Shoveled drift taller than C.

Finally got all dug out. It wasn't as bad as some got, thank goodness we were too far north to get the freezing rain. Ice is far harder to drive in than snow. But this was such fun for the kids! The yard looks messy but played-in, which is such a good look.
