Snowmageddon

So, this is what the end of the world looks like.  We have blizzard conditions with 45 mph winds and we're expecting 8-12 inches today.  When it's all over, we'll have over 45 inches of snow.

Here's a few more photos.  They don't even begin to show what this actually looks like.  I just keep looking out the window and shaking my head.  It is absolutely amazing.

This is the sidewalk and snow trail leading from my front door.   

This is what I see out my back door.  The snow is almost up to the top of the deck railing, which is 5 ft tall.

This is what I see when I'm sitting on my couch.  The snow is higher than the couch in the picture.  Ignore the pile of trash, we can't get to our trash can so we've been piling it outside the door.  I know, it's classy.

Snow piled up on grill and trash can

This is DH trying to get to his car.  He's 6 ft tall and the snow is up to his mid-thigh.

View of my neighbor's cars.  The snow piles from shoveling and plowing are taller than the cars. 

And, since we're stuck in the house, of course I've been taking pictures of the kids.
