Doesn't it look like a picture postcard? Our big snow storm in February 2010. It was beautiful, but as you can see from the following pictures it is a lot of work digging out from under 28 " of snow. We couldn't open the doors, and the gutters and down drains were frozen so when it started to melt the water could not run down from the roof and instead came in through the kitchen window for several days till the down drains melted. It was beautiful and most counties ran out of budget for snow removal. But please we have had enough for this season. We are looking forward to some sun and flowers.

While the others are battling the snow Tatum is practicing her crawling. She just doesn't understand why she goes backwards instead of forward.

My garden is a winter wonderland.

There is supposed to be a car under there.

Even the welcome mat is snowed under.

We had many dangerous long ice cycles everywhere. The once on the top roof were twice as long.

Interesting snow formations on my neighbor's deck.

Even the garage light got a load of snow.

My neighbor Te has a snow blower and he came and helped too. He is always good about clearing my driveway for me.

Quincy felt he needed help clearing the driveway and the car, so he solicited help from as far away as Dubai. Actually their friend from Dubai had meetings in DC, and got snowed in and stayed with us till he could get on a plane. Nice visit.

Jason climbed out the window so he could shovel the snow away from the door.

Trevor climbed out my bedroom window to remove a foot of snow and ice off the small roof so it will stop dripping water into the kitchen window. He didn't fall off thank goodness.
