The snow started to fall. "Isn't it pretty?" is what everyone kept saying. If it were the first snowfall of the season, then yes, I could say that it's pretty. However, this is the 3rd major snowstorm we've had so far and we're only a couple of weeks into winter.

The snow started to fall harder.

Our poor farm cats were about as amused as I was.

The winds really picked up and were blizzard strength all day long. Huge drifts started to form.


This morning Jay took Austin to get his stitches out (he had gum reconstructive surgery). He was glad he had the blade on the front of his truck in case he ran into drifts.
Looking out front, the snow doesn't look too bad...

I did find it interesting how the drifts looked like whipped meringue peaks.

To give you an idea of how big these drifts are....we have a basement under our house, and the basement is only partially in the ground. The top 4' are above ground, which you can't see at all in these pictures. The drifts are easily 8' tall in spots.


Remember the 4-6' wall I showed from last night? The drift you see on this side of the fence is part of that wall. As you can see, it grew overnight and most of it is well over 4', and is 8' high in several spots.
I know, it's pretty, right?
Well, all I can think is:
HURRY UP SPRING!

Question - so how did you get out, thru the garage on the other side?
Lets hope some melts before we get more - right?
Once Jay pushed his way out of the garage (thankfully he thought ahead and parked facing out), that's how we had to get out of the house. It stayed that way until the next afternoon when the guys brought the big equipment and blew all the snow out of the way. We still have the huge drift in front of our front door, so that's not being use until Spring.
