Snow!

We got about 16 inches of snow today (edited amount now that the official numbers have been reported: 17-17.5 inches). The snowblower that the neighbors always let us borrow is not working (of course), so we got to do lots of shoveling today. At least we knew in advance that we couldn't use it, because that would have been a really bad surprise to find out after all the snow had fallen. Here are a few pictures I took when Jacob went out to check it out.

Jacob at the end of the driveway after the plow came by for the 2nd time (thank goodness I cleared out the 2 feet from the first pass!)

This is the huge pile of snow that we made from shoveling, off to one side of the driveway
