More Snow (what else is there to talk about?!)

We woke to even more snow this morning. I honestly can't remember a stretch like this where we've had such continuous snow and had it stick around. We are definitely not equipped for this kind of snow out here. I mentioned yesterday how side roads don't get cleared. Andrew broke our snow shovel last week and we haven't been able to find a replacement in stores. It seems like we get one shipment of them and when they're gone, too bad.

Luckily, living on the compound the way we do, we have shovels we can borrow. And of course, there's always the beach toys. Here the kids are helping Andrew shovel the driveway. Now, I know it looks like we've never shovelled it, but we were doing a strip wide enough for the truck to fit through. We haven't done it since the shovel broke, just the concrete part. We have about 20-25 feet of concrete, then the rest is gravel.


Eventually, the kids gave up shoveling and just fed themselves snow. yum yum.

Oh, and Tink tried to start a snowball fight.

Yup, that's her past her knees in the snow. She's not a wuss.



Our big snow pile.

And guess what? That snow we were supposed to get this afternoon? It's looking awfully fluffy. Andrew shoveled the driveway twice tonight. He did it once, all the way out to the road. Then by the time he'd done that, the concrete part needed shoveling again.

But we can't really complain. It's beautiful. The kids love it. And we're lucky enough to have my dad's 4X4 for the winter. Still, I hope we get our usual rain back soon...
