Oh our weather!

Yes, I know it has been a couple weeks since the last posting. The weather here has been CRAZY! We had a couple of weeks of true 'winter weather' lasting long enough to have a 'White Christmas'! Below are a few pics to illustrate just HOW much snow we did get!

Here is the cooler, we couldn't even open the sliding glass door without snow coming into the house. I was going to go out the side gate, um, but that wasn't an option!

Here was looking out toward the street from the garage. Dave was at work and since it had snowed so much during the day, it finally dawned on me that if I wanted him to come home, I would have to shovel the snow so that the car would make it into the driveway and garage. Oh, that was some very hard work. There was a layer of snow, then about 1/4 inch of ice and then more snow!!

Our house (before I started to shovel the snow). You cannot tell where the yard ends and the street begins.
My neighbors car.

Let the melting begin!! This was the day after Christmas!

Noah is throwing snow at Dave. He calls the falling snow 'snowballs'.

Now that the snow has melted and the temperatures are above freezing, we have had A LOT of rain. We have gone from a winter wonderland to a flood zone with many rivers flooding or swelling very high. I hope the rest of the winter is much more mild!
