How Buried We Really Got...

 


I hadn't gotten around to posting this earlier, but this is a picture Pete took of our car after the storm last week. This was first thing in the morning on Friday, when the lights were already out. When we went to bed Thursday, our driveway was shoveled. Pete worked together with other neighbors to clear our driveway and others. Needless to say, this was a LOT of snow! Right now, it has been a few days of well above freezing temperatures and there is not a hint of grass to be seen anywhere. The weight of the snow wreaked havoc on trees in the area. The routes to gymnastics and to Tomas' school are littered with downed limbs and even whole trees that just gave up under the weight. Unfortunately with all this thaw-worthy weather, the snow is now just wet slushy nastiness, so far from great for playing in. Now I'm ready for spring and real playground time!
