I can't imagine why....the snow drift in our backyard is ONLY FOUR FEET HIGH. I'm not exaggerating either.

01.

02.

03.

Icicle of DOOOOOM

04.

Yeah. The ground level isn't usually this high looking...

05.

Now, my room is underground, but my window is not...The snow drift goes half way up my window and the rest is just snow sticking...

06.

Lots of snow.

07.

I'm not sure why I thought it was a good idea to open my window...whoops.

The only thing I'm disappointed about is the fact that mail probably won't be delivered today, and I'm expecting two packages. People aren't supposed to go on the roads unless absolutely necessary. Dang, it's snowing even harder since I took these pictures.

Mood: cheerful

I'm jealous! I would LOVE to see snow like that here in Colorado Springs. Our winters are so lame.

Our winters have been pretty wimpy compared to this recently. I'm really shocked at the amount of snow!

My wife's best friend is supposed to be moving to Coeur d'Alene right now but can't because of the snow (pass is closed) so I'm actually more happy than jealous about the snow for once since it means we have a few more days with our friends.

I'm still jealous though :P

Yeah, my mom was stuck on the pass for a few hours yesterday, apparently it wasn't fun.

Hahaha the last little part made me think of the mailman seeing the packages addressed to you and thinking, "Xenia! She ABSOLUTLEY needs these, I HAVE TO DELIVER THEM."

That icicle is HUGE.

wow it is like Queensland but with snow! At the moment Queensland (which is called the sunshine state) is flooded and people have had to be evacuated from their homes. Nobody told them that not only is it summer but we a also in the middle of a drought.

that icicle looks dangerous...

Wowzer, I hope everyone is safe now!

And yeah, the icicle could probably be used as a weapon.
