Snow Day....

We had a doozy of a blizzard on Valentine's Day. It was so bad where we lived that they closed the schools in our district for the first time in about 20 years. Here are some pictures of that day for your viewing pleasure!



Pumpkin, at about 6:45 am deciding whether or not to venture out into the snow. The two other kitties decided they didn't even want to think about going outside. Casey took one look at it and hightailed it out of there before I could snap his picture. Their mom, Treasure, didn't even come out to see.



Pumpkin digging.



Pumpkin gave up. This is his "tunnel".


This is our Kia and our backyard. There were some serious drifts!


This is our driveway, as viewed from our front door.


This is our driveway after my first pass with the snow shovel. I was not looking forward to shoveling the second pass down the driveway.


But, I did it!


This is J taking a little break from shoveling the sidewalk. He did great job! He shoveled about 3/4 of the sidewalk in front of our house, plus part of the end of the driveway after the snowplows dumped slush into it.


This is C. She didn't feel like shoveling that day.


Here are C and J. J sank down into the snow and got his boot stuck. C is being nice and trying to help her brother out. The snow is really piled high here, but I believe that most of the height is from Neighbor throwing his snowblowered snow into our yard. Before the storm, it was halfway up the fence. Then, add two feet to that and, well...fun, deep snow!


Yay! Thanks to C, J found his boot!
