Never seen this much snow in my life!








Well, when we returned from Oklahoma on Sunday night we found quite a lot of snow. It had snowed 4 inches the day we left but from the minute we got in the car we knew had missed the first blizzard of the season. As we drove through town we just saw these huge piles of snow in parking lots where they had compiled the cleared snow. They had made a median out of snow on the main street in town! We have never seen anything like this in our lives! Then, when we arrived on our street we found that our neighbors car had been buried in snow but the biggest surprise was when we arrived to our house. Our driveway was covered in 4 feet of snow. Now, I am NOT exaggerating here- literally 4 feet. We were like- what the heck are we supposed to do? Someone had cleared a little path thru the snow to our front door but there was no way we could get Brian's truck in the garage or get my car out. Brian shoveled for like... ten minutes without any progress and then decided there must be a better way.
Monday morning Stuart, one of Brian's co-workers, came with H&P's bulldozer or bobcat and moved our snow to a huge pile in our neighbors yard where apparently everyone is stacking their snow. I seriously don't know what we would have done without it. Today is Wednesday and that car is still covered in snow. Anyhow, the roads are much slicker now so we are having to be extremely cautious driving but the weather is nice, it should be in the 20's most of the week. So sad when I say that. It def should be an oxymoron to say nice and 20 in the same sentence.
None the less, it is still interesting to explore more of the earth that God created. This is def some different creativity!
