Some pictures from today, 24 hours after the start of the worst winter storm I've seen as an adult.

*backyard; fence is completely covered under a four foot snow drift.

*view out the front window; snow drift.

*front porch; snow drift is taller than me (5 ft, 3 in). if you notice the cars, it looks as if they are sinking.

*just opened the garage door;

*looking around the corner to the front yard, and walk;

*three hours later, entire front yard is under five feet of snow. 

*while shoveling I recalled the snowstorms of my youth and the excitement I felt for playing in the snow.  

*baby's first blizzard. 

*as you can see, he's overcome with excitement. (or its the velcro on the hood thats bothering him!)

*he started to become interested.

*still not sure what to think, but did express he was done with this exercise of amusing mom.
