The Big Snow 2010

This past February, we were blessed with lots of snow. This storm wasn't as big as one I remember when I was a kid, but we had two storms almost back to back... the first one dumped about 8-10 inches, the second about 4 days later gave us another 2 feet. The place looked beautiful, but driving to work was not easy! The kids ended up missing 4 days of school last month due to the snow. They aren't happy about having a short Spring break now! Here are some pics to give ya'll an idea of how much we got...

Here's the back porch from my balcony's view. And below is the back yard.
Here's the driveway after Mike plowed, and the pile next to his tractor. It made powing the long driveway possible!


Here's poor Scout trying to get thru the snow. The dogs finally decided to stick to the paths the kids dug thru the snow to make feeding the animals easier. These next pics are taken several days after the storm.

The kids dug a tunnel in some of the plowed snow piles.

Here's my sister's son Damean with Rhett and Amy in one of the tunnels. Below is a pic of Liz's son Finn as he's crawling in.

And last but not least is the violence that occurs when icicles are formed... Austin losing his temper with Trevor... Fortunately, he was posing as can be told by the smile.
