First, the forecast was for a few inches, then 5-9", then one TV station went 9-14" (!?!) then I gave up and went to bed. We got about 17". GAH!!!

This is the big snowpile at one section of the driveway.

Yeah, you shovel enough snow and you want to play with it ;) I could build an army of Daleks if I had the energy to dig through all the snow! See the car at left (Honda Accord). You can see how big the pile is!




The road with most of snow melted, cuz they probably dumped on enough salt to rot the rust on my car.


Oh, yeah, to the right of the buried mailbox is the driveway. Fortunately (THANK YOU!) the same snowplow driver who very  nicely cleared away the three foot snow-packed-like-concrete section at bottom of driveway cleared it all away! Saved us about an hour's work to clear that.  But you can see how deep the snow is by the shovel height.


Tree in backyard.


This is the dog pen. This shows how deep the snow is. The dog, if he were still alive, would have been in heaven with all this snow. We also would have died of heart attacks digging him little paths all through the yard ;)


I just liked the blue sky, as the sun began to set, over the snow-covered trees.


And lastly, my favorite shot, of my now possessed snow pile. ;)

You have more snow than I do! It's very beautiful where you live, although all that snow must mean a lot of work...

Love the pictures of your trees at dusk, very pretty :)

Alas, must try to find some branches. They're all either buried under snow or too far to reach!

We got about 17" or so, and I'm still shoveling. I'll be shoveling until it all melts, if an icicle of doom doesn't impale me.. ;)

I just realized all the roads are getting a lot narrower. Another batch of snow like this and we'll be single lanes! ;)

Hope you don't flood. Ah, a nice sunny day. I'd like one of those, and 74 degrees too.

Ha! I can't imagine not having snow at least once a year. Not sure if I could deal with super hot.

Yeah, heavy snow. NOt too heavy though... well, the shovel did break. Bolt fell out. Blast. Now gotta rummage basement to find a replacement.

yeah and by the time you find it, the snow would have filled up ALL the area you already cleared
Unfortunately been there, done that too

I can´t imagine having snow! Well, the heat is overcome by the air conditioning, but ... when going out is quite annoying especially around noon when the sun is warmer and you feel how warm the skin... ;___;
Temperatures are always around 40º C. up to 45º C.
But seriously, I can not imagine a cold less than 1º C. or 2º C. is the least of what we have come... xDU
Greetings and kisses! ^‿^

My father was cleaning all the gutters and the roofs off today. He's still trying to move all the piles and making even larger ones to get rid of it off the driveway and walkways. I keep praying for a few days of hard rain so it will wash away because if it doesn't it will all be here until spring thaw! LOL

Hi! I always immensely enjoy your photographs and I wanted to try my hands on it as well. Since you don't have me on your friends list, I want to link you to my new entry with "Dresden in the snow" pictures: http://dieastra.livejournal.com/53980.html

Hope you like them!

Also, I just realized that I once made indeed a post starting with "this is especially for [livejournal.com profile] wraithfodder which is stupid, since you never saw it either ;) What I meant to show you is this, it's called "Pictures looking into the past", where a pic of the same place is taken years later while holding the old picture at the right place. Check it out, it's a really great idea and I want attempt something like that one day: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/75-captivating-looking-into-the-past-pictures
