Blizzard 2015



I haven't posted in a long time, but I figured this snow storm was worth it.  They forecasted 24"-30" of snow.  


 It started Monday night around 9:00pm and snowed all night.  When we woke up the was 24" of snow on the ground already in blizzard conditions.  It wouldn't stop snowing until around midnight Tuesday.  

When I opened up the door on Tuesday morning, this is what I found.

Snow in the laundry room doorway

When I went out to start the clean up, I could hardly walk through it. 

 
I have to walk through the snow to get to the tractor


25" of snow





 I started the tractor and tried to remove 24" of snow over the length of my driveway.  It was tough going,  but the tractor did its job.  I had bought a used John Deere snow blower in October because I was having trouble with mine and didn't want to have to depend on it this winter.  The snow blower did its job as well.  Good thing it was cold as the snow was nice & fluffy.
