Snow day Take 2

As predicted, school was canceled today. And WOW, did we get a lot of snow. I don't know what the "official" total was, nor do I really know how they even measure it (cause of all the blowing and drifting - I mean, there are several bare patches in the yard but by the door, the snow is 3 feet deep - how do you measure that??).

Scott spent several hours last night shoveling the driveway. And then more time this morning. I went out and took a picture of our strategically cleared driveway - two paths for the two cars [The Capri doesn't need to be out in this weather].


The sun was starting to come up and cast a golden hue on the sparkly snow and these coneflower brachts:



You can see the waves of snow carved out by the winds the night before:





Our neighbor spent most of the morning shoveling out his driveway - in doing so, he created a huge, 6 foot snow pile. While he was working, the city snow plow came by and mounded more tall piles of snow in our cul de sac. Instant sledding hill!! The kids enjoyed playing in the snow, having snow ball fights and sledding:











Sometimes a Snow Day is just a lot of fun....
