Snowpocolypse

This past Saturday, our area got twenty-two inches of snow. Twenty-two inches! The media was calling it "Snowpocolypse." At last check (2 months ago), Jack was thirty-seven inches tall. So this snow would have been up to his chest if he could have have stood on the actual ground! As it was, he had quite a tough time maneuvering around in it, sinking in to his waist with every step. He still had fun playing it in, though, and lasted about 45 minutes on Sunday morning. Alexander was in heaven and lasted about another hour after Jack and I had bailed; he simply sat on the ever-growing "snow mountain," while Justin cleared out the cars. Apparently he ate quite a bit of snow and announced, "I am helping by eating it!" It took Justin three hours to clear our steps, sidewalk, the neighbor's sidewalk, and our two cars. It has been a LONG time since I have seen this much snow! I happen to think it's pretty awesome, though!


We have steps to our back door (which we could not open) under there somewhere...

Although we hate it at the moment, this will be the stuff of memories. I still remember a big snowfall when I was a child, where we were snowed in for several days because the snowplow could not get through Haaf Road. One even got stuck and had to be pulled out.
Sounds like a "Cherry Tree" story coming, as I think about it.
