We got hit with a couple of big snowstorms in February and March of this year. The biggest was "Nemo" (as The Weather Channel called it- they started naming snowstorms this year, ugh), also known as the Blizzard of 2013.
It's a blurry pic, but this is what it looks like to be in a blizzard at night.
When we woke up in the morning, this is what we saw out of our slider.
It was really hard to measure the snow though, because of all of the drifts. This looked pretty cool outside on our front porch.
The National Weather Service said we officially got 24", but we had a
hard time finding 24" at our house. Above, Todd measured on the table,
and came up with 25" but it's in a somewhat sheltered area between our
house and Jean and Steve's house, so it's not the best place to
measure. We measured about 18-20" in many places around our house.
By the big tree, in a more open area, we measured 20".
Todd also measured about 20" right out in front of our house, between our house and Speen Street (but not where the snow plows had pushed the snow).
Our grill is under there somewhere!
This is Ma and Pa Kettle's car buried under the snow. His real name is Joseph but we still don't know his wife's name. Todd saw him out there shoveling, and went over to help him. He thought Joseph only wanted to shovel the car out, which they did, and Todd left after they were done. Only to find Joseph out there several hours later STILL shoveling! Todd felt really bad!
Meanwhile, Todd had to shovel a path for the mailman, or he won't deliver our mail- our mailbox is adjacent to our front door so he has to walk up to our front porch.
Once they plowed Speen Street, I took some pictures. The snow that had been plowed and pushed to the side of the road was taller than I am! It was a pretty big blizzard but thankfully most of it fell late Friday and into early Saturday so we had the whole weekend to clean up.
