The Great Blizzard!

I did mention we had a little blizzard here the other week.  It was quite amazing, starting around 3:00pm and it just got worse and worse and worse... By bedtime, the snow was piling up by both the front and back doors.  There was a good 3-foot drift forming...


...and it sure looked like there was more to come!  By morning, the back door was completely buried by a good 10-foot drift.


I suggested that we go sledding on it, seeing as it was definitely big enough!  But alas, that wasn't an option and daddy went and cleared it away.  Amazingly, before the snow had stopped, there were people out clearing away the white fluffy stuff!


By 3:00pm, everything had pretty much returned to "normal", and I was allowed out to survey the damage.  I was amazed at the snow piles being a good 3 to 4 times my height!


 I went for a little wander down the streets in a sort of amazement...


Where trees had been only yesterday, there were piles of snow covering them!  Mommy lifted me up to I could see better, but they were no where to be seen.  It was like there was snow bomb that had gone off...


...and then there were the pictures.  Constant pictures.  It's like, I'd never seen 20 inches of snow fall before...


True, I hadn't.  But then again, where was my sled?


The most amazing thing here was that from the time it stopped snowing to the time the streets were clear was measured in hours!
