Snowmaggedon

We have been slammed with a ton of snow over the past few days. Last weekend we got close to 30 inches of snow. We practiced the good Midwest technique of going out and shoveling the snow every few hours. We witness Thunder snow at 5:30 am as well as exploding transformers. It was very impressive, I can honestly say I can't remember this much snow at once. I do know we got a huge amount when we lived in Michigan but I was so little I don't really remember - just the stories.

Between Andy and myself we shoveled about 7 driveways and shoveled our own driveway 8 times. Owen loves going out in the snow and is enjoying every minute. Too bad he doesn't really appreciate the benefit as a kid. He has had fun sledding on the street and climbing the snow mounds. Eli is still too little to really appreciate the snow. He seems to like it but doesn't really know what to make of it.

The beginning of the snow fall about 4 hours in..




The next day but only half way through the storm..



The view out of our deck - again only half way through the storm..



I want to go out there and play..


Time go in, lost a glove and hands are cold.


On top of the snow pile at the end of the street - this still only part way through the storm.


Climbing up a pile of snow



Front of the house after the storm, note all the snow on the front of the windows...


The next day at Bob and Gloria's house.


The sidewalk at church, the snow is taller than Eli!
