Hey! Look! We got a blizzard! And now I am going to force some pictures upon you, because a) obviously you've never seen snow, or at least pictures of it, before, and b) hot dang, I just shoveled it all, and I think I am going to have a heart attack, and I am allowed to foist these pictures upon you.
You can't tell in that above picture, but I also shoveled our sidewalk, just so our sweet new mailman wouldn't kill himself delivering the mail. You're welcome, sweet new mailman.
I don't know if these pictures really do the sheer volume of snow justice. I'd say the snowfall itself was a foot, maybe a little more (see the patio chairs and the playset?), but because of the fabulous wind we got there are drifts all over the place of 3 and 4 feet. Just to the right of the edge of that last picture is a huge drift that proved to come up to my waist. I like to do awesome things in the name of science. And this is in the city. I'd hate to see what it looks like in the country, without plows or houses to block the wind.
I think (fingers crossed) we're good for snow. Now we just have to get through a wind chill advisory tonight, with wind chills as low as 20 and 30 below.
Would it be too obvious to say that spring can't come soon enough?

I'm not even sure the post office is opened today. The daily journal said only essential government employees would be working. I'm not sure if they meant city government or all. I haven't seen a mail truck go by yet, and we usually see several drive by our corner. I hope, for the sake of the mail carriers, they let them have a snow day too. I don't mind not getting my bills for another day! =)
Will your kids go out and play in the snow? We have parts of our yard that you can still see grass, but other parts, like the 4 foot drift out in the driveway, there is a TON of snow. Most of hte snow is where we need to walk. Lovely.
I didn't figure he'd be coming today. I just wanted it shoveled for him before it froze overnight and becomes impossible to move.
We'll probably play tomorrow, when it's not so cold.
Oh my snow. Wow! Thanks for foisting these photos upon me - I love Case photos every time!
look at all that snow. can not believe this winter.
I'm sure your mailman will be very happy when he comes tomorrow. I doubt most people will even think of shoveling for the mailman. I feel bad for them.
This is an awesome thing you did! I can't believe you shoveled all this ... amazing!
