Round Two (ding, ding)

So we got another 2 feet of snow on top of what we already had.  It was completely ridiculous, and I just wanted to share a couple pictures.

This was the view out of our back door onto the deck.  We normally have a nice view of the common area, but not right now!


This picture was taken looking off our front steps.  Andrew is down by our mailbox.  There is a pile of snow 7'-8' high in between.  Also buried is Andrew's car to the lower right.


This is our house and cars after the big dig!  Notice the huge drift over Andrew's car; we park under it now.  The pile behind my car (on the street) is huge, but everyone with a double parking pad has it because there isn't anywhere for it to go!


This is the view up our street.


...because I have an awesome husband who shoveled a lot!

Snow? What snow?

Our house saw over two feet of snow with this last event.  We shoveled about 2' of snow on Saturday morning but then Andrew went out again Sunday and twice today to shovel even more.  He has freed both cars and the mailbox.  Our street is a one lane road with snow at least 7' on each side of the single lane that has been untouched. 

There just isn't anywhere else to put all of it!  The piles in our front yard are taller than me (not that it's a great feat to be taller than me, but still).  Our neighbor actually took "his snow" over to his father-in-law's house because he has more grass on which to dump all of the snow.  I'm not sure what we'll do if the predicted 10" comes tomorrow! 

This is our driveway after shoveling the first time.  We were fighting the still-falling snow to keep up.


This is me getting ready to go out and shovel.  All bundled up! 


I've been very domestic throughout the snow storm.  I made crepes this morning for brunch.  They were filled with Tastefully Simple Rhubarb Strawberry Jam, drizzled with chocolate, and dusted with powdered sugar.  We'll see how long this lasts!  I'm running out of ingredients! 


The crepes.
