Blizzard of 2006

These are pictures of the Solstice Blizzard of 2006. If we have a white christmas this year, it will certainly be leftover from this storm. I measured 21" as of Wednesday night, and another 6" fell by Thursday morning. We had to shovel our driveway out to where the neighbors had graciously "plowed" the cul-de-sac with shovels the night before, mainly because one of them got stuck coming home. The snow was blowing so hard that visibility was next to zero, and the snow drifts in spots were about 4 feet deep. It was a great time to crank up a fire and relax at home for a couple of days while everything shut down

 

Solstice Blizzard 2006

Getting deep already

The snow is sure coming down out front

View out the front door (I liked the frame)

See how it is piled up on the door

Cars are covering up

Either it's really deep... or she's short.

Out for a walk, delivering Christmas presents to the neighbors

Trees covered with snow

The wind blew most of the snow off trees like this

Wind-blown snow on the cars

We got lights up this year

And our little live tree

Guess we're going to have to shovel the wall again

How are we going to get the shovel out?

The tree with more snow.

Path to the hot tub

Snow piled on the fence

Didn't take long to fill in what I shoveled

Shovelling out the next morning

A bug's-eye view

The path leading up to the door

Dug out the driveway

Where our driveway meets the other driveways

I seeee you..

Wow, she IS standing up

But not for long!
