Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

(In this pic. this is just the first time it snowed 15"
overnight, now the snow is 1/2 way up the window!)

This winter has been a long one already. Had anyone told me how much it was going to snow up here in the boonies, I don't know that I would've moved! Just kidding! But really it has been a record breaking snow fall for the inland northwest. According to records it hasn't snowed this much since 1963. As of recently we have gotten 65.5 inches of snowfall. When the kids go out to play in is up to their waists. The snow plows can't keep up with all of the streets and the mayor of Spokane declared a state of emergency, and snow burms as tall as me and so wide that many of the streets have lost a lane on either side. The kids have been out of school for 7 days on top of Christmas vacation. Not to make matters worse but now that the snow has stopped the rain has continued. Well, that makes the snow heavy and now roofs are caving in all over town. It is literally a skating rink now! Driving is like off roading it is so bumpy and potholes in the ice 6 inches deep, easy! Now the kids have been having snow days just because it is unsafe to walk to school, being that there is snowy icey burms covering sidewalks and all of the ice. What a crazy winter.(Just for a visual the snow burms from the snow
blower are upp to about my dad's shoulder, he's 5'10)
