And when we woke up this morning?
The snow was almost up to the top of the railing on the porch!!! When it was all said and done, we had over 3 feet of snow!
Mom got to work shoveling off the porch so that we'd have some place to piddle. (As for the backyard? Um. You couldn't even get out the back door!)
Here's the view out the back door; which is why Mom started work on the front porch!
Dad, meanwhile, got out his toys and started work on the driveway, knowing full well that even though we wouldn't be able to leave today (between the time it took to clear the driveway, and the road conditions, we wouldn't have been able to leave until late, and once we made the 4.5 hour drive, we would have still had to get the House With Wheels out of storage, get it started up, and get it up to the resort, and get it set up to live in again). So Dad worked hard on the driveway.
And when the snowblower was overwhelmed with the snow, Dad pulled out the plow.
Yes, we have a big driveway....
And we have A LOT of snow!
So much snow, in fact, that it was almost impossible to do snow zoomies. Seriously.
THAT'S a lot of snow!
So much snow that Abby, with her stubby little puppy legs could only follow where I had broken trail.
And even then she almost got stuck....
Heehee!
I think Abby was happier on the front porch!
When she wasn't napping with TaiChi, that is.
Did I mention that we got a lot of snow?
So much so that one of our trees got pushed down by the snow. (Don't worry - Dad thinks it can be saved.)
So. Um. Snow.
Mom and Dad are hoping to leave all of this behind and get on the road tomorrow, come rain, snow, sleet or shine. Hopefully my next post will be from shores of the Virgin River!
And I'm really looking forward to this trip, because I'll get to teach Abby all the ins and outs of the House With Wheels. And I'm looking forward to hiking. And sitting on the couch and watching my "teevee" on the world around us. I'll keep you posted!
