Two Feet and Counting!

So the weather man forecasted 2-4 inches. Boy were they wrong!! When Mike left for work this morning at 5:30 AM we already had 6+ inches and when I woke up at 8:30 we were at 20+ inches! It snowed over two feet in 5 hours!! This is the most snow I can ever remember! They said on the news that our area usually averages 6 inches of snow per season. That means we got four years worth of snow fall in 5 hours this morning! I was so shocked when I looked out the window. It reminds me of how I imagine it was for Laura Ingalls! I let my dog out and she wouldn't leave the porch because the snow is taller than she is! Crazy. Pictures will never do it justice, but here goes:
 Can you guess what this lump is? Yup it's my car.
 Here is our backyard fence, which I think you can tell is over halfway covered and it's STILL coming down!! They say most of the accumulation is over, but they said that last week and it snowed another 5 inches. We shall see.
Is anyone else getting this much snow?

  3. It didn't snow that much here in Tx but we did get a lot more than we usually do in the whole year. I can't believe it has snowed three times here this year, we are usually lucky if it snows once!
