Dashing and Slipping and Photographing and Shoveling through the Snow

I was going to put these on my photo blog but decided to post it all here…

These pictures aren’t in order, but these are from the fence in our back yard.  If I’d had time, and hadn’t been rushing to get Jaiden out the door for the school that I didn’t know had been cancelled, I would have sat with my camera, ready to take pictures as each section collapsed.  But what I DO have are some before and after pics!

             

I know that some areas got more snow than we did, but we haven’t had a storm like this for a while.  I remember that when we lived in Payson, we always got a ton of snow, more than other areas.  I think they got about 2 feet from this one, we had 13 1/2 when I measured this chair and it was about done snowing.

I took Carlos, with Jaiden’s help (and some of the neighbor’s son and grandkid’s help) three hours to clean both driveways and our little side driveway where the Jeep was parked. 

And we can’t forget the Suessical nature of the mailbox!

Carlos and I also took a little jaunt when he got home from work the night before, at 2:30 a.m., down to Main Street to take some pictures because he said they were really cool and I really wanted to go and his mom is here, so we left for a few minutes…

I have always loved the look of fresh, untouched snow on tree branches at night.  I remember that when I would walk on campus at USU, I would get a thrill seeing them and wish that I had a camera.  I probably would have taken more pictures this night if I’d actually put socks on before I put my [not snow] boots on!  And we totally parked here…

Just a few more photos of the snow night heading down the street towards our house.

That was at 2:30, then we woke up to this!

It was really kind of fun!  And we had a blast sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night!
