Snow snow snow snow SNOW!

I forget exactly which day the snow started falling, but I recall working most of the weekend (Jan. 9-11) to keep the driveway and sidewalks clear. It was interesting to watch the snow build up on the tables on our deck. Here's what the dining room table looked like on January 11:
We got a bunch more snow during the week. I'm very thankful that we have a snowblower now. Piles got higher and higher as I ran out of places to put the snow. There was so much that it nearly covered the fire hydrant nearest our house:
Even though the temperatures were bitterly cold, I took the time to dig it out:
Another interesting sight is our mailbox. Every part of it is covered except the door!
Here's the whole snow photo album on Shutterfly. Enjoy!
