Snow Event Number One

I think we got 12 inches.  Here's some photos.

This was taken Friday morning, because the dog, of course, had to go out.

 

 

 

 

 

And then she came in:

 

Then Josh went out to dig:

 

The snow stopped falling in mid afternoon.  In the next photo, you can see what we dug out just to get out the back door, the portion of the driveway he had cleared mid-morning and how deep the snow fell over where he had shovelled., and also how deep it became where he had not removed the snow right next to the car when he had shovelled in the morning.

Okay, so that was yesterday (Friday).  Today we had to dig out again, but the sun shone off and on all day, and it hasn't snowed at all.  Here Josh is hacking at the snow where the plows filled our driveway near the street. 

This afternoon we watched our neighbors digging out their cars that you see in the next photo:

 

The sun was shining when we did our digging.  Here's how pleasant my front porch was in the sunlight (and if you want to see more of our books, I also just posted a photo album of some of our family library http://ranikaye.multiply.com/photos/album/12/I_Live_in_a_Library)

 

The reason I call this blog "Snow Event Number One" is because Snow Event Number Two is scheduled to begin tonight (Saturday) in about another 30 minutes ... and continue until 10 o'clock Monday morning, with possibly another 12 inches, and the bonus feature of blowing and drifting.  So stay tuned!
