Didn't believe me, did you?The snow fell - it's hard to say how much we got due to the incredible drifts. The weather man said about 18 to 20 inches in our area.
The wind blew - Aurora had sustained winds of 50mph and gusts up to 70mph.
And it didn't stop until the morning. We were pounded with snow for a solid 17+ hours and yet we didn't have to shovel our driveway - one of the few perks of condo living. To give you an idea of just how bad the drifts here are, I can see some of the grass peeking through in my back yard, yet there are waist high drifts in the middle of our front yard. The rooftops look like the snow is already starting to melt, but in reality it just never stayed there very long thanks to the winds. I have truly never seen anything like it.

Getting ready to finish gearing up to play in the snow!
Those windows above the garage? That's us.Notice the snow drifts covering most of our windows?
Neighbors across the street didn't get plowedsince they left their car in the driveway.
At least the plow company came back this afternoon.
The snow depth was so random, it was hard to gauge where to step.
Daddy taught Izzy about the wonders of eating snow.I think she liked it.
She REALLY didn't want to come inside.
I didn't get many pics of Alice, she was too busy to sit stillso I had to take advantage of the times she fell in the snow.
I told her to sing "Climb Every Mountain."
She didn't get the reference.
