Just a few weeks ago saturday morning looked like this!  We all woke up on the first morning of the snowpocalypse to FEET of snow that had fallen overnight.  Honestly, I expected snow - I even expected a lot of snow (8 inches).  I didn't expect this!

This shot was taken just before 7 a.m. out the kitchen door.  We'd spent most of the night keeping one eye on the power line that was sparking in the top of the pine tree and listening to the police scanner reporting accidents, downed trees and wires, and closed roads that were impassable. 

We eagerly turned on the TV to see the carnage on the news.  Not long after that we discovered that there was no cable, no internet, and no phone service.  So we listened to the radio and munched raisin bran for breakfast. 

Then it was time to go outside.  You could barely see the cars under the mountain of snow!

Sean used the quad with the plow to try and make a pathway while Nikki and I shoveled.  Poor Shadow the dog couldn't even get out into the grass!  We had to plow and shovel her a path!

After more than an hour trying to get down the driveway, we made it over to the farm to feed the cows.  But got stuck in the driveway there.  That's Nikki's arm out the window. 

After that, it was time to put down the cameras and dig in so we didn't take many more pictures till the next day.
