Snow-pocalypse?

Yes, we are expecting what was originally 4-6 inches and has ballooned to 10-20 inches of snow and my spouse is headed out of town to sunny LA. Before he left though we had to clear out the blizzard of '10 to make way for snow-pocalypse as they have dubbed it.

This is the first pic - we couldn't get the door open! No, it wasn't drifted either!


Here are some photos of our fun. I remember watching the East dig out via the news when we were in Texas. I never understood what the big deal was and I repent - NOW. See, here we don't all have garages or driveways. You are privileged if you do have both, but it is a special feature if you even have a parking pad out back! So most of us are parked on the street and you all back West know what it's like to dig out your inturn after the snowplow! Imagine this:

Jar had to dig out the dog, by going out the front around the block to the back yard to clear the backdoor! Poor dog - poor cold Jar.


This is the snow in the back yard and yes, the garbage can is sitting in 2 ft of snow and the snow on top is fresh and at this point it is still coming down.


Evan Jam likes to "help" dig out after the storm.


Jaren spent more time playing than helping -his friend made mention of how much time he has to be an excellent engineer (this is the same kid who find Jar can never play because he has too much homework). Apparently he can focus on something!


A pretty front yard - from across the street at dusk. Can you find the van? You can see even less of it from the front door! And the snow is blown under it completely....aaarrrggghhhh! Good thing my husband shovels the snow!

Sugar rocks, snow rocks, whatever - as long as it isn't yellow!

Whew! Time to call it quits until tomorrow!



Not time to quit playing apparently. Jar's crowning achievement of the day was the tunnel in the front yard. It was only about 5 feet long, but enough to play groundhog - oh, yeah! 6 more weeks of winter. Thanks Phil!

Oh and no church tomorrow - such a strange feeling - second time in my life. Last time was the blizzard of 2009 - Dec 19-ish.
