It takes a front loader


I know you're saying "MORE snow pictures?!?" But you almost have to see it to believe it. The road in front of our house has been classified by the city as an "Limited Use Driveway" which is a fancy way of saying...we won't plow it. So SunCrest has a contractor that is supposed to come and plow the road for us. Let's just say that I have been stuck a lot this winter. I stay in until my neighbor clears the road with his snowblower. After one of our last big storms we had a front loader show up at 9:00 pm and he spent the next hour and a half clearing the road. This is what it looks like when you turn into our lane. I have to admit since we have four wheel drive it's kind of fun! And I've been saved from the February doldrums when everything is so dirty and dreary that you can't wait for the sludge to melt and the sun to come out. Up here the snow is still deep and white and it's so pristine I don't mind being snowed in so much!

Our friends brought some snowmobiles over yesterday. They said it was so the kids could have some fun...

Our front yard is packed with about 8 to 10 feet of snow and everywhere I look is snow snow snow! I didn't know you had moved up to suncrest! It must be really hard to get down in the winters, I can imagine it's quite the ordeal. Hope you are well and hope you get some warmth soon!
