Winter Wonderland

December didn't bring much snow to Rochester, so Mother Nature wanted us to be sure to know it really IS winter now! Saturday morning, we put Abby in her snowsuit so she could join the fun while we dug ourselves out. Later that day, we started putting on our coats before leaving to run some errands. Abby (in a very sad voice) said, "I don't want to play in the snow!"


Yesterday when we returned home from church, the snow was so high you couldn't open the front door! It took a little while to move enough snow to get to the door. By the time we were done clearing the walk to the front door and the driveway, we already had another inch of snow.




This is what our deck looked like this morning. Needless to say, Sydney, our Miniature Dachshund, is not thrilled that she has to go outside to take care of her business. Coley has to dig her a path so she doesn't get lost in the snow!



Yes, that is our mailbox..... Hopefully by the time the mail is delivered this afternoon, I'll still be able to see it. So far, it hasn't stopped snowing.

  5. Well.... it's a day later and I just heard on the news that there are no signs of the snow stopping anytime soon. We have had moments when the snow stops, but it starts up again just when you think the storm has passed! Considering how much snow we've received, the roads really aren't too bad. (You should see the size of the snow plows here!)

  6. How exciting! Good thing this doesn't happen every day huh? We are getting ready to move up to Wrightwood, so we will get some snow too. Probably not nearly as much as you though!

  7. Holy cow Tara! I can't believe all of that snow! It is almost unfathomable to me because I just took my in-laws to the beach yesterday! Granted, we didn't swim, but it looks a lot warmer than where you're at!! How are you hanging in there, by the way. Your family has been on my mind a lot lately! Call if you need to chat :)
