Snowpocalypse

So the forecasters weren’t just blowing snow this time.  We really had a blizzard.  They say about 18” dropped in 12 hours or so and we set some sort of top ten record for total snowfall in one day.  Here are some time elapsed photos of our house.  I didn’t keep track of what time I took these but they were all taken on the same day.  I left Casper’s shovel in the yard to use as a snow marker.

They even shut down I-70 statewide for most of the afternoon and all night last night…we weren’t going anywhere!

  

  

This morning, I took Casper out to see the snow but he wasn’t very interested.  All he wanted was his shovel which was buried in the middle of the yard.  He had a complete meltdown that I wouldn’t get it for him and then he had another meltdown when I made him come inside.  Hopefully he will be as anxious to shovel the driveway when he’s a teenager!

  

Chris couldn’t even get the tractor to move all that snow.  He walked about 1 mile to his brothers to get the skid loader, but it wouldn’t start.  So he and his brother just went up and down our driveway until he could get one of the cars out.

 

Casper is about 34” tall and you can see how high the snow was compared to him.  He’s not actually standing on solid ground in any of the pictures either, just on a packed down layer.  He was fussing so much about his shovel that I set him down in the yard and told him he could go get it…he didn’t think I was very funny.

Poor baby wants to be outside!  I had to put all his gear in the closet because he kept trying to put it on and open the door so he could go back out.  It was pretty cold and his nose was really runny, or I might have let him stay awhile longer…although there wasn’t much to do out there.
