I have never in my life seen this much snow...aside from the mountains. It is seriously unreal (about 28 inches, we think). We were so thankful that we didn't lose power, especially since our neighborhood full of old wires is usually one of the first to go. Having just come home from the hospital, we knew a lot of people were praying about this specifically for us, so it was a huge answer to prayer. And now to think we could be getting another 10 inches tonight!! Dave has spent COUNTLESS hours shoveling the past few days- our walkway, an area for the kids to play/walk in, a MAZE in the front and backyard, and lastly a good portion of our street so we could get out to a doctor's appointment for Will. And then we ended up shoveling a flat portion of our roof last night because we were worried about it collapsing under the weight of another big storm. Our pictures don't even seem to capture just how much snow has accumulated, but here is our attempt.
watching it fall Saturday morning
the area Dave dug out so the boys could walk
walking through the maze
digging out Sunday morning
One big highlight - the Mascott family joined us Saturday afternoon and Sunday because they lost power. They walked about a mile to our house in the middle of the blizzard, and were completely covered in snow when they arrived. It was so fun to have them here! Andrew is still asking when they're coming back. :)
Will came out for just a few minutes
a whole new backyard to explore
snow cottage

Unbelievable!! Your pictures are SO beautiful!! I can't even imagine that much snow!! How fun and limiting all at the same time! :) Hope you're all hanging in there tonight as round 2 hits you! WOW!
ReplyDeleteI love the maze idea! As soon as this round is over, I'm getting to work on that.
ReplyDeleteHope you all are well! We've been praying for you all...

I kind of wish I would have some snow to play in one of these days. Probably not going to happen. Oh well! That snow didn't even look that bad to me because of the Michigan roots. But the difference is that in MI, most people have something other than a shovel to clear out the snow. :) Dave is gonna be so buff. Will looks so funny when he's out in the snow! He's not so sure about that huh? :) I hope Addy is finding places to do her business!
