So in February we got hit with lots of snow storms. Sometimes the weather man gets it right other times they seem to be way off. However with this storm we were wishing they were wrong! For a couple of days they were warning of this great storm coming, but really I didn't believe it would be as bad as they said. I was wrong. It was a full blown blizzard and we didn't even get the brunt of it.
As you can see by these pictures the shoveling out was BRUTAL! It took us 3 hours to clear out our driveway. That is with all 7 of us shoveling for almost the entire time. Of course if we had a snow blower it would have been less. When we got our driveway almost cleared Rick asked the kids "does anyone want to pitch in their allowance towards a snowblower?" The only one mildly interested was Marek - until he realized that it meant giving us money to put towards one. There was great satisfaction of working together and getting the job done. However after this shoveling experience I was ready for winter to be over!

We were literally running out of places to put the snow

Sheer exhaustion!

Making some progress
ALL DONE!!!
Some parts of the sidewalks the drifts
were up to my waist!
I must say that we were very grateful for good neighbors who used their snowblowers on our sidewalks. They received some nice warm chocolate chip cookies for their help. :)
