Holy snow!

This is by far one of the craziest storms I've had the pleasure of dealing with in Minnesota. Usually when the weather people start predicting a foot of snow in the metro it ends up being only a couple of inches. Well, they were dead on this time.

Our street hasn't been plowed and those crazy enough to drive down our street are driving on the wrong side of the road because that's where the tracks are. Joe has snow-blowed twice already and will probably have to do it once again in the morning.

I've been tasked with shoveling the sidewalk up to the front door and the steps. The first time was super easy and I was done in no time. The second time I had to go out, well, see for yourself.





I am absolutely dreading when the plows come by because I have no idea how we'll get out of our driveway.

Whoa.

We got snow last winter... enough when Corey scraped a bunch together in our backyard that he was able to make a snowman for Madelyn. Granted, the snowman was only eight inches tall max... but the town we used to live in only gets about 1/4 inch of snow every 5-10 years.

I am such a Californian. Why exactly would the snow plow need to get out of your driveway?

Oh Shan! When they plows come through and plow our road it ends up blocking our driveway with snow that you cannot drive over and usually cannot snowblow because of the big chunks, etc.

Well how's that for service? LOL Yikes
