The Story of Snow (in pictures)

We have had soo much snow. Three BIG snow storms in 10 days. It just keeps coming. We thought we were done, that the snow was going to be south of us. But, as with everything else - that changed. It moved into our region this morning. And has not stopped snowing yet. North of us was supposed to get 4-6 inches, south of us 6-8 inches. So I think it's safe to say that we will atleast have 6 inches. On top of the 17 or so we already have - we are at about 2 feet of snow - and that is not the areas that have drifts, and, IT'S STILL SNOWING!!!! It's crazy. Really crazy.



And we have actually gotten pic's of all 3 storms. YAY us!!



Feb 5 - Feb 6 - our house




our tree in our front yard




me, snowblowing - it was HORRIBLY cold. the wind
was bitter cold



Jaykie shoveling - it was so cold that he only did
the porch and gave up



Feb 5 - Feb 6 - Doug's yard

It was completely like a winter wonderland at his house. As soon as we headed down his lane, it took my breath away! It was like a winter fairy tell, a snow princess palace or something. And the farther back his lane we got, the more beautiful it was! It really truly took my breath away!

This is what is happening RIGHT NOW!

You can see from the pic's above - the road was clear, we had a path on our sidewalk - but now, that is not the case. The roads are covered, the sidewalk is covered, the cars are covered. Chances are, the kids will get another snow day. And they will LOVE that!! There is word that another storm may hit us this weekend. I sure hope this is just a rumor! I do enjoy some good snow - but, sometimes, enough IS enough - and this is one of those times.

Hope all of you are staying warm and cozy!! We are doing our best. Even though I say I am done with all the snow - it is just soo beautiful. And so peaceful. I love how quiet everything seems. And my favorite thing, is looking out at the untouched snow under the street lights, and seeing it sparkle. Reminds me of when I was a kid. I remember thinking there were diamonds in the snow! And I love watching the snow fall to the ground under the street lights also. So even if I am done - I am still mesmerized at just how beautiful all this snow is!
