Winter, Yes! Wonderland?






It snowed all night. The news is saying that here in Parker we have got 25.5 inches of snow. The wind had slowed way down and the snow heavier now. I measured 21 inches on our deck this morning and that's after my husband snow blowed atleast that much off of it yesterday afternoon.


Everything is still closed, we have drifts that go up to 6 feet high. No one can leave their houses becuase the side roads are buried.

This picture is of our back deck, between where the benches are we have a 2 step drop down into the lawn. You can't see where the steps are, everything looks level becuase it's so buried in snow.

This picture is looking out our window into my neighbors yard.
I dont' think we;ll be able to get out of the house until Saturday. The airport which is 20 minutes East of where we are isn't going to try to open until Noon tomorrow. There are cars stranded everywhere on the news, lots of shelters setup, the National Guard is assisting in clean up. Last night we took the dogs out front to go potty cause the back was too deep and we saw a plow get stuck a couple streets over.
I think I'll finished wrapping gifts today, maybe make some Christmas gifts too. No one is going anywhere for a while.
