But due to the amounts that fell, we all went out to shovel and it took us 3 hours and it still wasn't done (a little remains yet). This is the joy of having a foot of snow fall on a driveway that is 4000 square feet (one square of it being 40 ft X 40 ft). The temps were actually very mild... I was out in just a turtleneck and sweatshirt. The worst part however was the entrance to the driveway where the plows had piled up the snow 3 ft deep... J, K1 and I took turns at tearing that lovely work down.
The kids never complained the whole time we were out there and actually had some benefit from it. They built a snow fort right outside our backdoor. They used to do this when they were younger but we haven't had enough snow in the last couple of years at any one time for them to build one. This year... no problem.
Here are some pics of our snowfall and their fort... Enjoy!
Our mailbox which sits 52 inches off the ground... thanks to the snow plows it is now almost buried (I suck at editing photos..)
K2 adding a second entry (or escape route???) to the snow fort.
K3 do some cleanup work on the sidewalk and adding more snow to their fortress.

The pictures are fun - the snow looks . . . cold? You probably don't care that our japanese cherry trees are in almost full bloom - all pretty in pink!
Umm...no. I didn't really need to hear that about your pretty pink trees... snot!
And actually, the snow isn't that cold...it's been in the 30's all week... compared to the bitter cold we had at the beginning of the month, this feels like a heatwave.
