February 2010 Blizzard

The snow started falling yesterday around 11 am, and has not stopped.  Tim has shoveled the sidewalks and driveway twice with the help of our very nice neighbor and his snow blower.  Unfortunately, Tim has to shovel a path every time he lets the dogs outside to go to the bathroom.  It will be interesting to see if the plows can make a good dent in this HUGE accumulation tomorrow.  The picture with the tape measure in the snow was taken at 10:30 am this morning. See how clear the deck and hot tub are in the last picture? Tim and I will definitely enjoy getting in it later tonight. The dogs are enjoying the snow--mostly they like to eat it. They're not stupid, because they won't even attempt to go into it where Tim hasn't shoveled. 

I posted this on Facebook, so bear with me if you've already read this there....While Tim was out shoveling, he was trying to focus on positive things while feeling pain in his back lifting tons of snow.  He imagined a conversation between God and Kara.  God asked Kara about one of the things she enjoyed most while living on Earth, and Kara answered "snow!" We know that God has a sense of humor, and we can imagine Kara laughing and being very excited up in heaven about the record amount of snow that is being dumped upon us down here. :)
