SNOWPOCALYPSE 2010!!!

We're snowed in right now, by state order. We're not allowed to be on the road unless we have an official reason, or legitimate emergency. Over the weekend we got a little more than 2 feet of snow, which kept Melissa in Texas for a few extra days due to her flight being canceled. She got a new flight yesterday, and it literally got in a few hours before the next storm. So far we have gotten a bit over a foot of new snow, and we're just hitting the biggest part of the storm. I've been out and cleared the driveway one time with the expectation of doing it again.


This is the drift next to the driveway. It's almost as tall as us. Maybe by the end of the storm it'll be taller than us.




This is the walkway from the front door that I dug out. It's pretty much a canyon of snow. I guess it doesn't matter too much, we're not getting mail today, or maybe even tomorrow.



This is the view of the house. There is a ton of snow here. If you notice there is a big chunk of snow falling off the roof. I believe the only reason why it hasn't fallen is that it has frozen itself around the gutter which is bending down and will most likely need some repair when the snow melts around July.

We're hunkering down and waiting for the snow to end. So far we still have power(obviously) and we're hoping it stays that way. The satellite is still working, much to my surprise, and we've got everything we need to survive, as long as we don't go crazy.
