Snow Galore...

Yesterdays weather forecast was Lake Effect Snow. The kids got out of school 45 minutes early due to the weather. It started snowing here at 1:30 pm and was still snowing early this morning. Before Terry and I went to bed at Midnight last night, we took a couple of pictures of the wonderful "blizzard type" snow we were getting:

When we got up, we awoke to a winter wonderland. Everything outside was completely covered in a blanket of pure white. Getting the sliding glass door open this morning was a chore, but with using the blow dryer we managed to melt enough of the ice to open the door. Here are a couple of shots of the fur babies out in the snow this morning:

Kiara didn't want to come in from the snow... she's just totally in her element in the cold and snow!

Shyanne, on the other hand, was pleading at the door.

Poor lil' Shasta was buried in the snow once she stepped off the deck. Needless to say, she didn't stay out there for very long.

In total, we got 17 inches of snow and in the places where the snow drifted, Terry measured 4.5 feet. Yes, I said 4.5 FEET of snow in the drifts! Here are a couple of pictures:

Here's a picture of Kaitlynn still clad in pajamas... Look how tall the snow is next to her! That wasn't even the snow drifts!

This is looking out the upstairs master bedroom window.

Anyhow, I am sure you all get the drift now that I've written a story-book about our wonderful snow storm! Another day off of school for the kids this winter and another day tacked on to the end of the school year when the weather will be nice.

I don't know about all of you, but I'm really ready for spring! This winter has been harsh!
