Snowpocalypse

We finally dug ourselves out of all the snow that we got in the blizzard last night! Whew! It was a fantastic storm! There were gale force winds, white out conditions and a TON of snow! The snow in our backyard looked like a sand dune this morning from having been whipped around in all the wind. When I tried to open our front door there was at least 3 feet of snow heaped up on it! I spent a couple of hours this morning digging 2 deep trenches; one from the door to the street and the other from the front door to the driveway. It's crazy! The trenches are about 2-3 feet deep! What an impressive sight! Here are the pictures to prove it!

My awesome trench!

Trench to the front door.

Looks cold? ...We've seen worse!

What you are looking at here is the 10 foot drift that is literally burying our neighbors completely! The small deck in the upper right corner is actually on the second story!

Here it is again, you can barely see the neighbor's sliding glass door peeking up over the snow drift under the deck.

These are our front windows. The debris you see in front of the windows is actually a large shrub! This stuff is deep!

On Saturday we took advantage of the 'best sledding hill in the Madison area' at the park across the street from our apartment. It was really fun! We only did 3 runs down the big hill though. We would have stayed longer but my legs couldn't hike up the hill anymore! (I did run 5 miles earlier that day so I deserve a break!) It was really fun! Audrey even got to try out sledding too!

A very kind lady let us borrow her awesome toboggan for a couple of runs!

All bundled up having a great time!
