Blizzard 2010

So... we used to like snow, maybe not so much now. Starting Friday afternoon, Feb 5, the snow began to accumulate. Luckily, we had made a couple of grocery store runs and had everything we needed to last us a few days. The weather reports were that we would have about 2ft much like the big snow we had right before Christmas. As the evening progressed toward morning, the totals were updated to 3ft. We lost power Saturday morning at 5:45am and would not get it back until Saturday night at about 10:30pm. We were very fortunate to get it back so quickly as so many of our friends waited until Monday for theirs to be back on. The snow finally stopped
falling Saturday evening at about dinner time! It was indeed about 3ft with drifts in some placed of 4 or 5ft. Below are some pictures...

Here we go...!!!

outside our front door


Brian was so AWESOME at staying ahead of the shoveling! A lot of people waited until it was over before they shoveled and had so much work to do and their cars were stuck (ours is in the garage!)

The 2 mounds are cars! The one in the back is a minivan...

It is finally over!

Sunday was so beautiful with a blue, sunny sky! This is our front yard!

Our neighbors are finally dug out!

Beautiful!!

I wish I could say that this is it for us, unfortunately, as I type this we are getting another 2ft of snowfall! I'm not sure how anyone functions with 5ft of snow in their yard...

Wowzers that's A LOT of snow!!! You guys have really gotten hit this year. Glad to know you were not out of power longer. We saw on t.v. that so many were without power. We had that when the ice storm hit Tulsa two years ago. We went without power for 5 days. It was HORRIBLE!!!! --Enjoyed seeing the pictures, I've never seen that much snow in person. Good luck with the next system that's headed your way. We are thinking of you!
