I like my Blizzards from Dairy Queen....



Nothing says love like 15 inches of snow! That is what I got for Valentine's Day this year. Chris got a day off after an unsuccessful attempt at navigating the highway, which was blocked by an overturned eighteen wheeler. We watched the snow fall all Tuesday while it slowly snowed us in. Georgia was out of school for three days. While you wouldn't think that just over a foot of the stuff would immobilize an area, especially one so accustomed to it, but there is a little thing called "drift."

The winds that ranged from 25 to gusts of 68 mph (according to the news) blew our snow into nice big piles that ranged from 3 to 5 feet high. It took Chris three hours to shovel out the driveway which depth was thigh-deep. Our four foot fence nearly disappeared in some places. Don't laugh if you are reading this and used to seeing this sight. It is a new thing for us! I haved always loved snow, but I am so over it!
