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. ;)

Fun with snow piles! LOL

Lovely snow landscapes. You have a beautiful piece of property. Looks like good bird habitat. Do you ever see or hear any owls?

Love the snow pile. The snow is very pretty, though, despite all the inconveniences! Nice snowplow driver!

Yeah, the property is nice, if overgrown. I actualy have, in the last two years, actually heard and seen one owl (okay, saw a black shape on the tree that flew off in classic owl looking flight). Would love to see more of them.

Oh yes, I was soooo happy when he came by and offered to do the bottom (cuz he knows how heavy it is). He said town has no idea what they'll do if we get another snow like this!

Okay, that is the creepiest possessed snow pile I've ever seen!
(and I had to stop laughing long enough to even type... plus the comment by Seticat "Jabba the Heap" added value! =)

Our town used all its budget with the post Christmas storm! The state should fund the rest since it has to do with public safety,etc. If we have another big storm, maybe the governor will declare a state of emergency!

If I remember, and can find some, perhaps it will get arms tomorrow, or teeth! Neighbors are going to think I'm nuts.

I think everybody's snow removal budget is or soon will be toast.

I remember one year my hubby made a Sphinx and a pyramid out of the snow mounds. As much as the snow is a PIA, it's fun to play with the piles.

These are fabulous! I love the possessed snow blob!!!

I see that [livejournal.com profile] seticat came up with the best name!

Thank goodness, we didn't get that much snow here...I would be suicidal by now!

Beautiful pics!

Love the big beautiful tree in the back with the dog pen, really beautiful. I like the snow but here in Texas we have the opposite problems...high cooling bills. If it gets to the 30s around here people are having a fit - LOL!

I love Melbourne! No snow, no water (swan Hill is still waiting to see if they're going to be flooded. It looks like the levy will hold though!) just a nice sunny day that I'M NOT AT WORK! \0/

No, just snowed out and a little snow crazy like the rest of us. How much did you get? We got over 2 feet. The snow plow guys don't even know where to plow it to anymore. There is no more room to put it! A Tropical Island is looking better and better!

Haha. Just think of the cooling costs. That will turn you off. It'll be 40 degrees here on Sunday for the men's final of the Australian Open.

That's about 104 fahrenheit.
