Round 2 of the Snow

I just posted not even a week ago about our snowstorm. We got hit with about 10 inches of snow the first round on Thurs Feb 21st and then they started calling for another storm starting Monday night the 25th. They said this storm could be worse then the first one! Really worse we didn't need more snow, we hadn't even got rid of the snow from the prior week. They kept changing the time of when the storm was going to start, when I went to bed Monday night it still wasn't snowing. I kept an opened mind with this storm b/c with the first one I thought they were making a bigger deal then what was coming but I was wrong on that front.
I woke up Tuesday morning to more SNOW! I woke Shane up and told him it was his call if he wanted to chance going to work or just working from home that day. We walked downstairs and opened the front door and he said "Ummm No we aren't going to work today". So, we both worked from home Tuesday and decided to stay in which was good b/c we couldn't even get on our road b/c of all the snow on it. We couldn't even see our street when we looked out the front door. It was just a white mess out there. So, we got about another 10 inches of snow with the 2nd storm as well. It just crazy looking outside or driving and just seeing so much snow. I don't even remember when the last time we had this much snow was. 

This is how much snow was on the arm of rocking chair outside. 
 The snow is very pretty don't get me wrong and I love taking pictures of it. But, when I have to dig my way out of the driveway and go out in it then I would prefer for it to go away. LOL 
This is our tree in the backyard.
Up close of the snow on the branches.
 The tree in the front yard. Right behind the tree is a half cul-de-sac but obviously you can't see it! 
 See told you no seeing a road or driveway. Crazy!

 This was our mountain of snow after shoveling half the driveway. This was from the first storm and this one. It's never going to melt! LOL 

They didn't come clear our road till about 8:00 pm that night, it's a good thing they did our we could have got stuck again on the road going to work the next day. 

We got our snow this winter now I'm ready for it to melt and bring on Spring!!

Who Called For Snow????

How did everyone like ALL that snow we got last week??!! I can't believe we really got 10 inches of snow, that's just crazy!! I really thought everyone was making a big deal over nothing and we would just get a little snow, but they showed me now. 
We did brave going to work Thurs and Fri. Thursday they decided to let us leave at 11:15 AM, but I had to wait till Shane got off before leaving since we ride together to work, but we still left at 1:00 PM so it was done snowing when we left. It still took us an hour to get home since the highways were a mess and pretty much closed. We did fine getting home until we turned on our street and we ended up getting stuck twice. Then we had to shovel our way up the driveway to park in the garage, now that was fun. NOT! I did help Shane out and it was a workout for me. Saturday afternoon I finished shoveling the other half of the driveway since we were having my family over Sunday they needed somewhere to park. :)

When we got home Thursday I opened the back door and this was the snow by it. 
 It's pretty out there but way too much, LOL
 This is how much snow was standing on our deck. It's just crazy. 
 View from the front door down our street. All you see is white!
 Poor Kira didn't know what to think she couldn't run in the back yard b/c she would get lost as she fell through the snow. :(
 I thought this was pretty cool how the snow piled up on our deck stairs. 

Now that we survived round 1 of the snow...Who's ready to begin round 2. I'm not sure I like all this snow. Maybe I would like it more if I didn't have to get our in it and shovel and drive in this mess. Haha! 
I hope everyone was safe during this snowstorm! 

Let's see what this second time around brings us.....

Snow Snow Snow

How did everyone like the snow to bring in the new year?! I actually wanted a big snow this year just so I could see our new home all white and in the snow. The first time that it snowed I didn't get to capture any pictures sadly but I wasn't very happy about the snow that time. I woke up and it was everywhere and I had to go to work. I don't like snow very much if I have to get out and the roads are messy. As we left for work that morning it took us 2 hrs to get to work and mind you we only live about 15 mins or so from work. So yeah that wasn't a fun way to start off the day. Then to make that day even better I started coming down with a cold and felt like crap so I had to leave work and go home early. But the way home but a much better drive then to work (think goodness I would have had a melt down or killed someone, LOL). 

So, now we have had our 2nd snow of the winter and I was good with that snow. I was a little worried when I woke up and seen all the snow b/c I had plans to go see a handsome little baby. But once I got out on the roads they weren't bad at all. I was also good with this snow too b/c if needed I could have stayed home and not got out if it was super bad. 

Isn't our house cute in the snow with the Christmas lights on! 
 This was taken out back. 


That's all the pictures so far I have gotten of our house in the snow. Who knows if we will have more but if we do let's hope I can stay home and not drive to work for 2 hrs or I should say sit on the on ramp exit for 2 hrs. Blah!

First Snowfall of Winter!

I didn't realize that it was suppose to snow overnight into the morning. So when I looked out the window this morning you could imagine my shock to see my car covered in WHITE hello first snow of winter. I wasn't ready for the snow so I'm glad it wasn't a big snow...Plus people on the roads forget how to drive in the snow and it drives me crazy. It was pretty snow but I'm glad it didn't last long. Hopefully the big snow fall will wait for awhile so I can prefer myself. LOL

I had to take some pictures of our 1st snow of winter this morning. So here they are!



Hope everyone was safe this morning driving to work. It was a little slick in someplace. I didn't have any problems expect for the stupid drivers but we can't get around that. LOL
