Scenes from the great dig out!

 The view from our front door (Hi Jamil!!):

The view out back:

On our walk to Safeway (we ran out of diapers! ugh!!):

There's no business like SNOW business!

I have no idea exactly how much snow we got, but we got A LOT.  

Let's go to Mr. T for a commentary:

Here's T on Friday night, about ankle-deep in the white stuff:

By 7am Saturday morning, the snow was about 1 Mr. T high:

Some time around 10am we had reached 1 1/2 Mr. T's.  Then we just gave up with the measuring.  Once you're up to 1.5 Mr. T's, frankly, what's the point?

Liam peering into the frosty landscape:

If you look closely, you'll see a little butternut squash mustache on this baby.  He's teething and having an awful time of it.  So, we were just glad that we could get near him with the feeding spoon.  It's not been a favorite activity lately.

Getting ready for the big outdoors!!!

Preparing for "REAL" snow

By most accounts we have 12+ inches of snow in our future! We intend to be prepared:

"Practice" Snow - Feb 3rd

Snow - Sunday, the great dig out

Yes ma'am, we got snow....

Superdad digs us out!

Did someone say something about snow?

Yes sir, we got a little snow today.....

This is the view of our parking lot at 1pm and 4 pm today

We stayed inside and decorated our tree.  Kevin took this great shot that shows not only our festive handywork but also the mound of snow that has taken over our deck.  The mountain on the left is our grill, the one on the right is our trash can.
