Blizzard of 2011

 The snow is almost touching the bottoms of the swings

We were glued to the television these past few days anxiously awaiting the "Blizzard of 2011".  Rarely do we get what the so called "experts" say we will, however, we are happy to say we got enough snow to cancel just about everything within miles.  I wanted to take a few pictures to document just how much snow was accumulated, yet my camera does not do it justice.  I know we live in the great "north" and we should expect this, yet we rarely get this much snow, and all at once too!  It was a hoot going to the grocery store yesterday.  You would have thought we were in for a blizzard of major proportions to have people, literally, wiping the shelves clean!  What? they had no food before? and I'm pretty sure this will only shut us down for today! Crazy mayhem around here, but oh so fun to experience it!
