The television weather guessers have been predicting for days of a major storm coming our way. It was kind of hard to believe, especially with their normal track record. Ju
st this past Friday and Saturday the temps were in the mid-70's with no wind and beautiful sunshine. Well, they hit it on the nail this time. The temps started dropping on Sunday and by Monday evening the snow was moving in. By this morning we had a record amount of snow for a single 24 hour period. Before it stopped we had 11.4 inches of snow on the ground. This picture was taken at 11:00 am and the snow was still coming down. I really don't like snow and just feel like it is just "white mud".

I really don't like snow and just feel like it is just "white mud".I got out this morning to start shoveling off the drive and entryway. We had about a three foot drift on the front w
alk and another two feet against the front door. I got the entryway clear but with the sn
ow still falling I elected to wait until it quit before tackling the driveway. Later in the day the drive was calling and had to get out in the cold to work on it. Did it in a couple of shifts but got it clear. Not sure why since the street still has about ten inches of snow in it. Also, we have a pretty good hill to get up to get out of our addition so it is doubtful we'll be getting out anytime soon. The snow from the drive is now in piles on each side. That might melt off sometime before Spring. Although it stayed cold all day and the wind kept blowing the sun did come out this afternoon. Another day of sunshine and the drive should dry out. The rest of the snow can just stay where it is.

We really feel for you guys.... it was cold here in Arizona today - only got to 70 and will drop into the 40's tonight ---- wish you were here! Take care, keep warm and stay safe. Love to you both, Linda and Andy
Gosh - talk about a major weather change! You be careful, doing all that shovelling. I know you aren't into the exercise thing and getting out there and exerting yourself, that way be heart attacks. Take it slow and gentle...
Presumably you have a store of food that Joanne can creatively produce meals from?
