Snow, Snow and MORE SNOW!

So, for those of you who are following this from Alabama, I know everyone thinks it snows here all the time, but usually it doesn't. We usually get alot of 2-3 inch snows, but not this year. We have been here 12 years and I don't know that we have ever had so many storms one right after the other. I am going to try and put a timetable to this so you can see our progression. Our first big snow was the night of the National Championship game. GO BAMA! We were very glad we got that snow, because we stayed up until 12:30 watching the game, so the kids didn't have to go to school. We got about 8" that day. That snow melted and January seemed to be a little warmer than normal. Moving on to February. February 5th we got about 13". We were able to make a snowman (something we can't always do, because our snow is so dry). Here is Abby hugging the snowman. The kids had a great time playing in the snow, and made some huge snowballs. Three days later we got another 10" or so. The kids had a good time playing then too. You can see Cory pulling Abby on the sled with the 4-wheeler. In the picture to the left. Now, we have gotten another 8-9", (honestly I'm about done counting how many inches), let's just say it's a lot and I'm tired of shoveling. Thank goodness we have a very good neighbor that comes over sometimes and uses his snowblower to clean our driveway. Usually it's not to bad to shovel (like I said we usually only get 2-3" at a time), but shoveling 8+ everytime was getting VERY old. Now, the pictures below are some I took today. Please notice our snowman, yes it is the same snowman, he has just been covered by more snow. As you can probably tell, we won't be grilling anytime soon!
You will notice the piles on either side of the driveway and our sidewalk. Some of them come up to my hip. The kids are now to the point that they could care less if they go out and play in the snow. It is supposed to snow another 2" overnight tonight, and now they are saying they are tracking another "winter storm" for this coming Sunday-Monday. Yeah! :( So, that is the update for now from here and like I said it is snow, snow, and more snow.
