Snow Job

Friday night we went to bed at midnight with about 2" of snow on the ground.

Saturday morning, by 7:00, we woke up to over 18"!

Tunneling out since we were expecting MORE snow. Lovely lake effect snow. (I HATE that freakin' lake!)

Proof positive.

By mid-morning it was snowing so hard, we could barely see out the door.

We ended up with over 30" by Saturday evening.

Thank goodness we didn't have to go anywhere, although it was 1/2 off day at Goodwill, dang it.

And thank goodness the NFL playoffs were on Saturday night. We had chili and rolls and enjoyed the fact that we were trapped together. No, really, we did!

It renews my faith in humanity when I see people pull together to help one another.

Besides looking like a scene from the "Walking Dead", this was most of the men on our street helping to dig/push out a car. The 3rd car of the morning, by the way.

Lili DEMANDED to be thrown in the snow and packed in like a dead fish. She stayed there for hours . She even drank her hot chocolate out there, which was convenient, since she was able to cool it off by adding some snow to it :)

Ginormous drift. See how high it is in front of the house next door?

Thanks to our neighbors, our driveway, sidewalk and our entire street was snow-blown by the end of the day so we could finally get out of the house on Sunday.

69 more days till SPRING!!
