This is Andrew's car in our driveway yesterday afternoon. And all the snow we had to shovel. By hand.
Our neighbors pine trees across the street, getting ready to bend in half.
Poor photo quality thru the window, but we can't get our screen porch door open to get out back and take a photo. In the background is our trampoline, bending with the weight of the snow. In the foreground, our patio table and chairs competely buried.
And today the sun is out, the sky is blue and it looks so innocent out there. And blindingly white. Our street has been plowed but other side streets near us are still knee-deep (chest deep for Logan). Which made for an exhausting spin around the neighborhood this morning. We got home after what felt like a 3 hour excursion, only to see we had only been gone about half that time.
We put more shoveling time in first, then walked to our local sledding haunt. People were out walking around in the middle of the streets, completely unrecognizeable from all their snow gear and shades, shaking their heads and heckling the weather Gods to throw us another storm (they are calling for another 6" - 10" Tuesday into Wednesday). Schools have been closed Monday and Tuesday already, and if we get more snow there's a chance they'll be off all week. Which is great news for our neighborhood Super Bowl Party tonight. No one has to wake up tomorrow and do much of anything.
Our house, the snow pile almost as tall as our light post.
Andrew takes a break from shoveling.
I don't think we're getting mail anytime soon.
Dylan and Logan, taller than the light post.
Awesome ride down. The walk back up, not so much.
Beautiful and treacherous.
Think I'll just lay right here...
Logan and I take a spin down the hill.
Andrew and Logan go head first.
Our friends built a snow slide in their yard. The boys gave it a try...
....and came to a dead halt in the middle of the street into a snow bank.
