HUGE snowstorm

[judy]

I measured where I could reach on my deck, and the snow is 22" high! It's still snowing too. I don't really know when it's supposed to stop. Jessie went driving this morning, but I am not leaving this mountain!

I took some more pix. The first one is a sideways shot showing how much snow is on the deck.

And...some more

#1 is the deck again. I sure hope it's sturdy! #4 is Baby Annie wanting to go out to play in the snow again!

Breathtaking Judy!! Your deck looks like it's almost full of the white fluffy stuff lol! Baby Annie looks just precious!

Stay inside and stay warm

I'm thinking you should get some of that snow off the deck. Don't I remember you learning last winter that you needed to get snow off your house somewhere??? roof???

Anyway, it sure is beautiful!!!

Holy cow Judy....that is a bunch of snow. Saw on the news where you're suppose to get more too. I hope you know that you won't be thawed out till some time around the 4th of July....LOL. We are suppose to get up to 3 inches tomorrow...I'm ready for it to stop and warm up, but then I know I've said this before. Your pictures do show just how pretty the snow can be...the pictures are beautiful.

How beautiful, Judy!!! Isn't it a warm comfy feeling to be inside all safe and warm? I love it!!! I love the pictures!! Annie is so cute waiting to go outside. Jazzi loved the snow too and jumped all around outside....on the other hand, Reuger just peed on the porch!!! LOL

I'm not liking this anymore! I am trapped in my house because of the snow! The guys couldn't get here to plow or dig our paths today, and it snowed a lot! My friend who lives up top in the condo, didn't feel well this morning, chest pains, and so on, and called 911. She is fine, but they had to get a hold of Terry somehow to plow the 5 foot snowdrift blocking the entrance road, and then they had to dig a path to her doorstep. The whole thing took about an hour! Thank goodness it wasn't a heart attack! She knew she was okay within about 20 minutes of calling them, but she let them dig her out and the EMT's checked her out. Poor Roxanne!

When I woke up this morning and saw how much snow had accumulated, I didn't like the feeling of not being able to get out, but I figured if anything happened, I would call 911. If there was a fire, I figured I would grab the dogs and be pretty safe in the snow. When Roxy told me what happened to her, I really felt claustrophobic!

No kidding - this is scary and creepy. I have never been closed in like this. My steps are covered with snow, as is my path, and the snow is so deep! Even if I did make it up to the road, my car is buried. Even if I dug it out, the roads are covered! I guess I could just walk through the snow. I am perfecty okay, and have decided not to make myself crazy since nothing has happened, but it is really creepy! I don't want to be really freaked out! My entire county is buried in snow.

At least I have electricity. A lot of people don't have any! We have our own generator here, and I have food and it's warm.

I can't wait until tomorrow when, hopefully, they will plow and dig me out. Cars weren't allowed to even use the roads today. They were closed to all but emergency vehicles, and it was still snowing last time I looked.

I took some more pictures.

#1 and 2 are of the deck yesterday. #'s 3 and 4 are of the deck today. I'd say it's about 4 feet of snow on the deck by now.
