Snowed in . . . .

Yesterday we were offically snowed in. It was a real BLIZZARD out there. Not fit for man or beast. So we just stayed inside all day until 4 pm when it calmed down so we could once again shovel our driveway! We got around another 5 - 6 inches I think and the winds were 30- 40 mph gusts! It was COLD and miserable outside. So no new snow pictures from yesterday. :(

So what have we been doing? Lots of TV a few video games and for me SCRAPBOOKING. I ran across this picture of us with Greg and his boys many years ago. Cute :) Do you think Tommy and Peter look a little like Ashton and Weston. Well, maybe a little? Funny!

And After the Storm . . . .

YES, 32 INCHES OF SNOW RECORDED AT DULLES AIRPORT!

I'm always amazed at how beautiful it is after a storm.

It is Sunday morning and it is a gorgeous day!

Tons of pure white snow! And a beautiful BLUE sky!

And a warm sun!

We are certainly grateful for a warm home and

the health and strength to be able to

dig out from the 32 inches of SNOW!

:-)

One of my favorites. It's cool to see a perfectly carved out
walkway. You can really see how deep it is!
Never seen quite this much at one time.
I do enjoy the snow but glad we still have power!

Do you think the mailman will be able to deliever the mail?

Another hidden mailbox and the stick with the pink ribbon
. . . well that's is where the fire hydrant is hidden.

The snow is too deep for the children to play in the back yard.

Small children would be lost . . . . in one small step.

SNOW UPDATE . . .

Now most of you realize that Tom is called BIG Tom for a reason.

Do you see that he is throwing the snow over his head

to clear the driveway. CRAZY

and we are somewhat tired after all that snow removal today!

This side is not quite as high but pretty close.

Our front tree is getting lost in all that snow :(

Kim is trying to "slide" out the front door.

But she got a little stuck in the deep snow.

Snow Queen for Record Snow Fall

That's right! Katie is this year's SNOW QUEEN!

The Snow Ball has been SNOWED OUT!

Maybe the SNOW QUEEN could make it

STOP SNOWING! Maybe she wants it to snow more!

So they just announced her winning the honor

at school before they closed the school down

and the actually all of the Northern Virginia Area and more.

We are officially SNOW IN!

It's hard to see but Tom and I did the first part of the driveway

earlier this morning and the snow is already piled up

almost as high as the lamp post. The mailboxes are close

to being covered up. I don't think we will bother with clearing

off the front porch it will be a chore just toget the driveway

cleared to get out someday. It is still snowing and expected to

snow until later today early night time. We are resting up

before heading back out to shovel more!

The real problem is that we have a very long driveway! HELP!

The mail boxes.

Already shoveled this clear once.

Looking out the back door.

The neighbors fence is almost covered up. And it's still snowing strong.

to sign autographs and take photos with all the little princesses!
