Oh My Snow!

So we were warned about a blizzard coming yesterday and man were they right.  It started snowing yesterday morning and did not stop until midnight or later earl this morning.  It was just snow either.  It blew like crazy.  We ended up with 12-18 inches by the time we woke up this morning.  No one could get out of their driveways without shoveling them.  Luckily, our friend and landlord, had a bobcat that he used to clear out our driveway.  The people that had to do it with shovels took 2-3 hours at least to get them cleared.  It was so crazy to watch.  We let the girls go out and play until they got cold, which didn't take very long.  It was fun to chat with everyone outside, talking about it.  I can honestly say that I haven't seen a storm this bad, even in Utah, because Utah does not get the wind and snow drifts that they do here.

This is what our window looked like last night.

 This is our back  porch.  We can't even open our door in the basement.  And you can't see it but their is a slide buried there.

Our friend, Matt, made a tunnel for the girls to play in while he was shoveling his driveway.

This is our front lawn after Chris plowed our driveway.  I think that it is as tall as me.  That car across the street was completely snowed in this morning.  It took at least three people shoveling to get it out.
