Snow: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow (Or, Thank God It Finally Got Above Freezing)

As promised, here are the photos of our snow storm from two weeks ago.



Here's Trent coming in from the snow. In the four years we've had him, this was the first time he's seen snow too deep for him to run around in.



This is the snow coming down the evening of the blizzard. Living in a subdivision, our roads were not the main priority to be plowed. As you can see, there is already more snow on the ground than we normally see all year.



Yes, that is a snow drift up to the window of my Saturn. And this was parked next to the house. There was a higher drift right where the sidewalk should have been. Lucky for me, some good Samaritan with a bigger snow blower cleared the walk for us and the neighbor. Our snow blower was not big enough to blow the snow over the snow drifts so we were looking at doing it by shovel. Thanks again, Neighbor.





Ah. Nothing like digging out a place for the dog in the back yard. Trent was traumatized. He couldn't find any grass or figure out why all the white stuff took up all his space. And those bar things sticking up out of the snow? That's an old lawnmower DH was getting rid of.

Naturally, the temps here (finally) went back up to the 40s and 50s, so most of this is all gone. You know, you almost kind of miss it. Especially when you're left with the nasty dirty stuff.

Hmm. This last picture doesn't want to post. I'll keep tinkering with it, but I think you'll get the idea anyway.
