Snow Jan24-25 Blizzard

Well we had our first "blizzard" Wednesday night. It the winds were blowing 30-50 with gusts to 70+. We survived didn't get blown away. But the snow sure did fall. They called for 2-4 inched but with the drifts we had close to 2feet and more in places. The driveway where the school buses park had over 2feet of snow blocking them in. We were happy to have no school and Chris even had the day off. I think most of town had the day off.
Well I just checked the weather report and it changed from some snow to yet another "BLIZZARD WARNING" so we shall see what we wake up to. The warning is from 9pm to 9am Sat.

So the picture of Lizzy and Hopps, I took on our snow day and the one of Tommy and Hopps(alone) Lizzy took them on the snow day.



The one photo is our front door around 8pm Wed. night. The snow likes to blow right upon to our doorstep.


The rest of the photos were taken Thursday after the blizzard struck. I know some of these snow drifts look similar to previous snow shots but they are new. The snow had melted and made what was left really dense.We probably had over a foot on the ground still. The pic that looks like a wave, you could see the ground between the snow drift and trailer. You can no longer see the ground anywhere. We are running out of room for the loader to put the snow when he digs us out. It has been very interesting this winter and we are just coming into what "we" usually assume to the snowy season. The kids sure do love playing in the snow and sledding down the big piles.
Well enough rambling for now. Hope everyone is well. If we get any exciting snowfall I will be sure to capture it when I can go outside again. But for now I'm off to Tommy's indoor soccer practice.


Well our blizzard was cancelled during night but not before we got a few more inches of snow. The bad thing is that it started to rain so there is a lot of slush everywhere. We have over 4 inches of snow/slush in the driveway. So we missed that one but I'm sure we will be in for more.
