The BIG STORM of February 2010

This was one of those storms that they closed schools and businesses early even before the first snow flake fell. Which actually was a good thing as when it did hit, it hit pretty hard. We even closed the hangar up early just so we could all make it safely down the hill upon which the airport and MMS sit. When we left, 4WD was required to get up the hill. It's always easier to slide down...

The snow started around 2:00 and by 3:00 we already had a couple inches on the ground in near blizzard conditions. It was a wet and heavy snow. This morning we work up to about six inches on our deck and about 12 inches in the street. I just finished shoveling our walks and a path down to the garage. Here are some pictures:

Hey, Lynette,

It's 1 degree right now as we start our new day at MMS. Now THAT's cold. At least there's no wind! More snow expected over Tuesday/Wednesday.

That's what our house looked like last winter. I'm glad it's you and not me this year. :-)

Hey, Nancy, Thanks for stopping by our blog and leaving a comment! We're actually supposed to get another 3-6 inches of snow over the next couple of days...
