The night before it hits hard

Spring or Winter? You get one guess

So we made it to the gate – still can’t get out

Xena (our Newfoundland) is totally in her element

She ran outside in her pajamas. She was so excited she only put on boots and a jacket. Then she got stuck in the front yard with snow at her waist.

This is what it looked like when I opened the tailgate

There is a car in there somewhere
The snow drifts kept snow from the front door – apparently the birds were seeking refuge there
I was playing so hard – please rub my belly
Oh yeah – that’s the spot!
From sun up to sun down – still working on clearing
The sidewalk – four foot high walls
Three stories of decking to clear off before it rains and causes a collapse

That’s crazy. I love snow and kinda wish we would get a decent amount but this looks like a LOT and a lot of work to clear a path and those decks! Hope you are all staying safe and warm.

It was definitely a great deal of work and more still needs to be done tomorrow. But for the moment the decking and roof is safe and the cars and driveway are passable. Tomorrow will be about clearing out the dog kennel, propane tanks, dryer exhaust etc… Far fewer hours of work ahead tomorrow.

Looks like you guys made the best of a bad situation. Hope that this storm becomes but a memory with no bad after effects.

Oh my goodness. I’ve only been in a couple of snowstorms like that, ever. Stay warm and safe!

Thanks for sharing your pictures! I’ve never seen so much snow. The most I’ve seen was about 3 or 4 feet! We had a doggy at the time and he loved it!

It looks so pretty and a lot of fun. I am sure it is a lot to clean up. I wish we had snow. I am on the Gulf Coast.

I want to comment but I am so stunned that I dont even know what to say! It gives me a panic attack just looking at it – WOW! Great for the dogs and the kids though, they were having a BLAST!! Glad you are alright.
