More snow pic's

This bush is normally taller than the stop sign. The weight of the ice and snow is almost too much for it.


Here's our shed and trash cans covered with snow. We hope that the shed roof does not cave under the weight!


This is Terry and our neighbor on the roof trying to get most of the snow off.


Our mail boxes


A broken limb from...

...this tree.


Ice clinging to the pine needles and cones.


Those "bumps" down the road are buried cars!


There's our buried van (before we dug it out!)


More of Terry on the roof.


Our front yard. The piles of snow from the roof came to almost 4 feet high. We had to dig a "tunnel" to the front door!

More pics in the snow!






These photo's are from a week ago. This was the start of all our snow fall, around 4 inches. We had fun that day too.


Fort building...



Posing...



Sledding...

More Padraic in the snow





Top photo is from the trip Padraic and I took to the grocery store with the sled. We had about 8 inches of snow at the time (we've since got even more!) and we needed food. So instead of trying to drive and risk all the other crazy drivers on the road, we walked to the store, bought our food, and pulled it all home on the sled. Pretty neat, huh?

And here's more of Padraic on his pile of snow.

And catching snow on his tongue.
