Snow, snow, snow

It snowed yesterday. The prediction was for upwards of 20 inches. All told we wound up with somewhere around 13 inches (or so). Lot’s of snow + high, gusty winds = snow drifts that look like vanilla sand dunes. We are very thankful the power never went out…came close a couple times. The house was warm. The fridge, freezer and pantry were full.
Our current status is that with our neighbors help the driveway is clear along with the sidewalks. The plow crews of our fair city are doing a fantastic job clearing the roads. They haven’t made it down our street, but once they do we will be free again. Unfortunately, my car and the hot rod minivan do not make it through knee deep ruts very well.
What could have been really bad turned out to be fairly mild. Our SoCal and NM family members would have loved last night.
