Obligatory snow pictures

Yes, we got a lot of snow (at least for us). And yes, everyone in the entire Mid-Atlantic is trying to show their little worlds how much snow they got. So I guess I will follow the masses and let my little world know what our little 1/3 acre looks like right now. Because of the drifting snow, it is hard to know exactly how much we got on average.

This was the first romp in the snow when they walked out the door.

I dug out a fort for the kids (later I went back with firewood blocks and plywood to shore up the snow).

My junior assistant took this shot of me in the biggest drift.

The wind blew the snow to the back side of the house and around every standing object. So did we get a dusting (on the left) or 5 feet (on the right)?

Our little mountain range.

Looking down our road.

I told the kids this was the only time they are allowed to play in the road.

Lydia dug her own snow cave out of another drift.

Since I pulled a major muscle in my back yesterday and am moving gingerly today, we were grateful that our neighbor showed up (as he usually does) to get rid of the wall of snow left by the snowplow!
