Snow, snow, SNOW!

What a fun Valentine's Day present. I think.

We got hit hard! 10 inches right in my front yard! Enough to close all schools and city buildings. Even the U of I is closed! That is a rarity. So, of course I wanted to share some pictures. Just a few I snapped through the windows or while still standing inside in the warmth. It's freeeeeeeezing out. Around 10 degrees, I think. This snow will be here for a while and to think we might be getting more in a few days. I can actually say I am ready for spring now. Bring on my blooming bulbs, please!

So this was last night, before anything was plowed. Looks pretty deep!

After Neil scooped our sidewalk. At least one foot deep! Wowzers.

Noah could not stand watching from the window any longer. He begged to go outside with daddy. So this was before he headed out into the cold winter white.

Playing in the drive. Neil is scooping snow, and Frankie is having a hay-day, too.

So now I wait on Neil. Yesterday he had to park our car on the street behind us because he could not get down ours. Apparently this morning, the snow plow trucks literally buried the car in snow. So, he is working on that right now. Took some sand over there to assist. I think he's in for a lot of work. I hope some nice people come out to help him (Heidi, Jase . . . are you home??!). He says he is going to work still. We shall see!

Update . . . he got it out. Yay.
