The Snow is Out of Control......

We are going on 2 weeks of snow now and it hasn't let up. The forecast states it will continue to snow for the rest of the week. No doubt we won't have snow for Christmas. Since Jared hasn't gotten out to clear the driveway since he had been sick we decided it was probably time to do so. As we opened our garage we noticed a van behind the car. It happened to be the Mail Carrier who had gotten stuck in the snow. Jared helped dig her tires out so that she could at least back up and turn around. She decided to go up the street that was cleared before ours and come down the hill instead of trying to go upwards.

This is how high the snow was were the van got stuck.
Ashlyn enjoyed being outside and looking around.

It was really cold that Ashlyn only got to stay outside for just a little while.

There was so much snow that the mail carrier couldn't get to the mailboxes.

Our car was so deep in snow.

Our neighbor Jay Watkins came and helped get the driveway cleared. We were able to at least get the car into the garage. Look how high the snow got.

Thank goodness for snow blowers. Jay was able to start clearing the driveway and it would blow the snow out into the yard instead of back into the driveway. If we didn't have his help Jared would probably be still shoveling. It was almost impossible to clear it with just a snow shovel.
