Some of Our Snow Days

This winter we got a ridiculous amount of snow. Over 40 inches in about a week from two storms. Since we live at the end of a dead end street, we were not high on the priority list for the city to plow. Dan and some of our neighbors actually shoveled the whole road! It was very impressive. I took many pictures of the snow drifts and banks yet they do not really convey the towering height appropriately. I think that it is because the lack of scale.
Anyway...
This is our back yard. The picture does not do it justice. It was so pretty with all of the trees covered in snow.
That lump that you see in the above picture on the left is actually our old boxwood that didn't make it. It was around 50 years old and over 6 feet tall. (well, at least taller than me at 5ft 7in.) The poor bush has lost all of its shape from the snow weighing the branches down. SO SAD. It did sort of cut the yard in half and we did want to move it somewhere but still...
I fell in love with so many different pictures. This girl loves the snow and just looks so happy and relaxed when out in it. I would wager a pretty penny that I will be the only one in the family that doesn't love riding the slopes :) I am ok with that. I wish that I was good, or well at least ok at snowboarding. But, it is just not in the stars for me.
