Snow, Snow and More Snow

Well, this desert girl has gotten a taste of a real winter this last week.  WOW!  This all started last week.   The first storm blew in early Thursday morning.  It was dropping 2-3 inches per hour at times.  Matt got up to check everything at 6:30 and said that it had barely started sticking.

this is the picture after about an hour of snow.

This is at about 1-2pm
This first storm dropped about 12 or so inches of snow very quickly.  It pretty much shut things down on Thursday.
I made these Blavaclava's for Matt and Cami.
 The plows came in our parking lot  and cleared our parking lot.  Its great that it is a benefit of living in an apartment style community.  The only bad thing is that I ended up having a 3 1/2 ft snow drift behind my car.  It took me about an hour to dig the car our on Sunday morning. Thanks to our friends the Claycamps for lending us a couple of shovels, since they were sold out all over town.


A little melting happened sunday.  Here is some playing over the weekend


 Our next winter storm came Monday night/Tuesday morning. They were forecasting upwards of 18inches in some parts of the city and possible power outages.  luckily we only got about 10 inches here.  We had a few flickers of power surges, but nothing major.

Here is a bobcat hauling snow into a huge truck and they hauled it away.
