I write to you from my cozy warm house in the midst of nearly three feet of snow. Right now, I am housebound, as our street is snowed out.
Kind of looks like an old country road, doesn't it? I assure you - there is an actual asphalt road under all that snow!
To give you an example of just how high this snow was...here's my car! Kind of amazing to look at. This was right after the task of shoveling all this snow began.
And here is what it looked like before we got started. There are actually two cars in this photo. Can you spot them?
About five hours after I got started, I managed to clear the path from the back door to the driveway. Looks almost like a tunnel!
This snow pile is at the foot of the drive...the work of my hubby. Today we're getting some icy rain. Too bad I don't have a sled!
We've enjoyed a lot of fires in the fireplace, and I've been busy baking up a storm! Pumpkin muffins, chocolate chip and walnut cookies. I'm glad I had enough food in the house - although we are running seriously low on coffee creamer! We're trying to do fun things to bide the time...watching movies, reading, guessing how long it will take before the plows come along...
It was a historic storm - I don't ever recall a snow storm like this. The biggest difference between this storm and the freak snow storm in October from nearly two years ago is that although we didn't lose power this time, we are instead unable to leave our home.
Our Internet service is somewhat spotty right now, but I am glad I was able to write this post to share our snow story with you!
Til next time,
Theresa
PS We got our road plowed yesterday! And our Internet is back up and running properly, too. Busy catching up!

Wow, Theresa! I live in So. Cal and cannot even begin to imagine the impact of having such a blizzard occur. It sounds though that you're making the best of the situation which is wonderful! Stay warm and snuggle with your babies.
OH MY WORD!!!!!!!!!!!! What massive major snow. I have only seen real snow like that a couple of times. When on trips to the mountain snow as kids - and another time skiing in Squaw Peek. I can't ski, so it was more like, on my back hoping someone would help me get up.
I can't believe you tunneled for 5 hours!!
That is amazing.
Stay warm and cozy k?
Love, V
Egad! Hope everyone's back is okay. Thank goodness you didn't lose power.
I'm glad that since posting this you have finally been able to get out! Makes our foot of snow look like a dusting!
Wow, I have never been in that much snow. Although my idea of heaven is to be snowed in with hubby. I am sure it gets old though and i hope the roads are clearing for you now xox Clarice
whoa, that is amazing to see your photographs. that is a LOT of snow to get all at once. I have not had that much all winter. thank you for sharing the photos. Enjoy your winter wonderland.
I bet you have the arm muscles of an Olympian! Man, that is a lot of snow!!
Heaven forbid you run out of creamer!! No!!!!!
I will send my plow wishes to you. Movies, cuddles and fires are fantastic....but baked goods without a cup of coffee and cream is torture! Haha!
Biggest hugs, Dear Friend!

Wow, I thought we got a lot of snow!!! I am so happy you are safe with your hubby and fur babies! And, I am so happy you didn't lose power! I know the snow is a lot of work, but the pictures are beautiful!! I do hope everything gets going soon, so you can get your coffee creamer! LOL! Sounds like you're having fun baking ;o) Big Hugs ;o)
That is some truly amazing snow right there!!
The photos are awesome as well...
Where I live it never snows, so to see snow like this is sort of "romantic" to me - I probably wouldn't think so if I was stuck in it though!!
Just staying home, keeping warm, baking and watching movies sounds like real bliss to me...
I would call it a BLISSard...LOL...
I hope you are able to get out and about real soon :o)
Oh my goodness me, that is a heck of a lot of snow.
Hope it's starting to melt a bit now and your able to leave your house.
Stay safe!
