Snow anyone?

 

This is what that huge storm in early Feb. brougt out here. This was the snowfall in about a 24 hr period. It shut down everything for about a week. Schools especially. I think because it just takes them so long to get all the roads plowed. Since snowfall like this happens so rarely they just don't have the manpower or resources to keep up with it when it does. Matt's work even has the option of snow days. We were not prepared for this either. It's not like we packed a snow shovel for hotel living. It took quite awhile to dig the car out. The little red car was completely covered. If you didn't remember where your car was parked it would be very difficult to find. Luckily Gram and Papa had arrived with our 4 wheel drive Pilot just a few days before. They also had snow clothes for the kiddos. It was fun to play in the snow for a little while but snow that deep makes it hard for the little ones to get around in :) It definitely put our house hunting, lot looking on hold. It was hard to find parking spots in the parking lots because the plows made huge piles of snow in the middle of everything. This was the largest snowfall in 17 years or something. At least we had the option to stay holed up.
