. . .when it snows around here! The pictures might not do justice as to just how many square feet of driveway we have. There was about 10+ inches of snow Friday. Saturday morning it took both of us (no help came this time from the kids since they had both thrown up within the last 24 hrs) less than two hours to tackle it together. This is with shovels ONLY! No snow blower - don't own one. The pictures below were taken before additional snow fell. Then last night and this morning we had about another 4+ at least. Now the wind is blowing and drifting those 4 new inches and previous snow making it look like lots more fell than that in places. Since the temperature as I write this is -11 with wind chill (sustained winds of 25 and gusts of 35mph), there is NO WAY we are going out to shovel! It would do no good anyway. We will wait until tomorrow for our next workout. Its Sunday anyway. Isn't this a day of rest? WE LOVE MICHIGAN!
(Looking away from the house the paved driveway ends where you start to see solid white. Then it turns into gravel. There is a turnaround off to the left and then the road is out by the pine trees that mark the entrance.)

OH MY!!! Do you have a snow blower or do you do that all with a shovel? I'm totally impressed if you do this with shovels!!!
I think I'd have to figure out a way to get a snow blower! I would HATE the shoveling...plus, it's got to be an all day project for you.
I would die from a heart attack before it was done!
I want your cold...not your snow though. It's 80 degrees here again today. NOT looking or feeling like Christmas!
By the way...love the wreaths on your windows. Cute house too!
Nope no snow blower. Just good old fashioned shovels. It is very light powdery snow which makes a huge difference. But honestly it is a big job and makes one feel very good after its all done. We have funny pictures of us with ice and frost on our hair, eyelashes, beard, etc. I will have to post on the photo album!
YUCK! I dont know which is worse Idaho Falls or Mt. Pleasant. Doesnt sound very "pleasant". Why did we both end up in places like this when we grew up in Bountiful where the streets are plowed well and we had a short 2 car wide driveway??? It was our sidewalk from the driveway to the door that about killed Dave yesterday. 8 inches of crusty, wind blown snow!
