Progression of a Blizzard!

Of course, everyone knows that there was a blizzard in MO last week, with some crazy amounts of snow (for us) in a very short amount of time!

So, from Monday night until Tuesday evening I tried to take pictures of my back porch every 2 hours or so.  It was VERY cool to see the snow pile up, and crazy how fast it happened. 

Monday night… just a little leftover from the last snow, plus some ice/freezing rain from Monday.

Just as the snow started- about 8 or 9 am on Tuesday.

And throughout the day, watching it pile up…

By Tuesday night… it was still snowing some, though not as hard.

The next morning; beautiful and bright, and absolutely BURIED in snow:

And, a couple more “Oh, my gosh, look how deep it is!” pictures…

I had to go out to clear a path for Isa Tuesday afternoon/evening so she could get to and from her house, and off the porch a bit.  It was already pretty deep, and look how hard it’s still snowing!

  Ruth, checking on Horatio (her car), and how deep it was in the sheltered area by our front door!

Our front bushes.  Yes, bushES- there are supposed to be two there!

Isa and I had a little walk around the yard Wednesday morning.  She’s definitely not as fast with all this snow on the ground!

Thought this evergreen just looked cool… plus, it’s lowest branches are actually about 2 feet off the ground!

And, poor Horatio, on Wednesday morning.  I actually managed to get the van in the garage, for which I am very thankful!

 

Anyway, I have lots of fun playing in the snow pictures to put up still, but I thought this progression of pictures was pretty cool, and the pictures that show just how deep it really was!  Pretty crazy stuff!  Coming, someday, the pictures of us actually enjoying the snow and the snow days! :)
