blizzard 2011 in pictures

last night (tuesday night) after the blizzard had been raging all day long, this was the look out my bedroom window...

today, this was the only (sad) tool i had to work with:

oh how i wish i had one of these instead!

for mom - some lovely pictures of the lovely snow the day after with sun shining BRIGHT!

the official measurement (not that much in the end, but still lots!)
a little buddy who joined me on my afternoon walk, except the little dude had to jump like crazy because the snow was like up to his head!

cute.

our house.

what i spent two hours this afternoon doing: shoveling out our street where we park our cars.... i'm sore...
the piles of snow that i moved from the road to the sidewalk

the view this morning out my window before the attempts to clear away the snow began

good times. great snow. sore back. love it.
