As proud new homeowners, and Christmas just around the corner, we'd been waiting for a "real" snowfall. Our first little snowfall was exciting and just in time for Christmas! Here is the beautiful white view from our back door of our FIRST snowfall. Don't get too excited until you scroll on though!
We were so happy for the snow and it looked amazing we couldn't wait for more. Then, the "REAL" storm hit. Less than a month later, we were blessed with what I can describe as nothing else but, this:
 |
| Yes, Zach shoveled the driveway. And only half of it. The result is the massive pile to the right. |
 |
| View on our street looking north. Notice how deep the garbage cans are buried? |
 |
| Feeling very "blessed" from all the moisture :) |
 |
| Yep, up to the door! |
Needless to say, Zach tried to drive Charlie Brown out to the ranch that morning. He called me from the driveway and said, "Can you come outside and help me? I'm stuck in the road." I thought he was joking, but went out anyway. Sure enough, there was our little brownish/gold Mazda B2300 stuck in the driveway. Well...half in the drive, half in the "road." There wasn't much of a road to be stuck in though. It was under around 14 inches of fresh snow.
Luckily we had at least somewhat of a relationship with our neighbors to the north at this point, so Sally and Josh Cook came over to help us get it out. Zach and Josh pushed as I drove it back into the driveway and then into the garage. I had to drive him out to the ranch in the dodge and then drove it to work. Thankfully I have the world's most awesome boss, and she was more than understanding. She couldn't believe how much snow we got and I couldn't believe how much they didn't get. Barely a skiff...so pretty much, Payson gets the "lake effect" but anything north of Benjamin doesn't. What a winter!!
