Woo hoo! Look at the snow! This is my FRONT YARD, people! I have lived here since 1994, and I have NEVER seen this much snowfall! I tried to take a bunch of pictures to show you some perspective of how deep it really is out here. Just today we got about 2 more feet! Funny how little Goose almost blends right into the snow "wall."
Here's Gator and I just to the east of my house. That's our 5th wheel on the left, and our buried house on the right. Crazy!
Here I am taking a small rest. I shoveled off the porch and it took me almost 2 hours! Ugh! I wanted to die. The snow was soooo deep. As you can see, the snow level is EVEN with the porch, so instead of being able to just push it off, I had to actually lift the snow and hurl it over the railing. Made for some good exercise, though.
Reuben has spent HOURS every snowstorm (which we've had quite a few of) snowblowing the driveway, stairs, walking paths for the dogs, etc. He has also had to dig out our basement windows, which have been BURIED from snow sliding down our roof. Just today he accidentally snowblowed over Gator's doggy dish, which temporarily broke the snowblower and forced him to go into town to buy new bolts or something. He's had to do that more than once these last few weeks, since our snowblower is on its last leg. Just buy a new one, you say? Ha! You can't find a snowblower ANYWHERE in town! They are all SOLD OUT. This snow is insane!
Here's Roob again standing in front of an impressive mound of snow in our driveway. Wowzers!

This is nuts! I'm so jealous that I'm not there!!! How are you keeping the dogs in the yard? Obviously the snow is over the fence by now.
well the good thing is that the snow "walls" are so high, the dogs don't even show any interest in trying to climb on top of them. Plus, the snow is still pretty light (not packed yet), so if they tried to climb up, they'd probably sink.
WOW! All those people down in SLC that are complaining about the snow have NO clue, huh? :) I love your pics!
WOW! Y'all got WAY more than us. I usually hate and complain about the snow every year, but this year it is SO pretty b/c it is always fresh. I think that must be what I hate about it... it snows, halfway melts, gets dirty and stays ugly. ALL winter. But this winter it is BEAUTIFUL!
Amazing pictures! Gotta be burning some big time calories shoveling snow.
I never saw that much snow the whole nine years I lived in utah! No fair!
WOW - much different from Louisiana. Looks likr ya'll are having a blast. Though, I'm sure it gets old after a while.
