Last year was a "Non-winter." We wondered if we'd be so lucky again. For awhile there, it was mild, but that didn't last. We've had frigid temperatures, ice, plenty of snow (although not stellar amounts) and LOTS OF WIND!!!!! The following pictures were taken 1 1/2 weeks ago when the wind blew hard for 36 hours straight - after a measly 3-5 inches of snow. We had a "snow day" off from school as well as a 2 hours late...
The initial beauty of the snowfall~
Lana was checking out the new terrain on the morning of the late school start. Mattie was tearing around the yard as well, getting her exercise on the new hills.
There's only so much a snowblower and pickup plow can do with a snowfall that comes with so much wind. It packed into our yard like concrete. The chipping began.
That's Evan. I love how he looks in his Grandpa Larry coveralls! Seriously! It's like having my Dad around (just a little bit)!
That's Rob chipping away at the drift - on the other side. Yes! He is standing up! Ugh! We all got our exercise getting this drift out of here. Evan was sick, so we missed his help in the beginning, but by Saturday we were all out there working together to get it so we can back out of the garage without running into the "wall."
The little snowblower - doing its noble part.
Come on Spring - We need you!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Or like Rob says - maybe we need a tractor!?)
Hmmm...definitely a tractor! That looks like a JOB and looks like you got everyone else's 5 inches!
ReplyDeleteWhoa..you did get it. Looks so pretty though. Fun to catch up over here on your blog...been a while.
ReplyDeleteWow! We have been wishing for a snow storm like that here but no such luck so far! Spring will be here before we know it...in the meanwhile you might want that tractor!! :)
ReplyDeleteso strange how the weather can be so lopsided! I don't especially long for that much snow, but we are hoping the year won't continue to be too dry here. Spring work and seeding is going on regardless. I hope you won't have problems when all that snow melts. Thanks for sharing pictures! I'm so glad I can catch up with you all this way!
