Life in the Snowglobe

Someone must have shaken our globe!

On Tuesday night the snow started to fall. I had already planned to stay home on Wednesday because after the first two hours of snow fall we had about 6 inches and it wasn't suppose to stop until Wednesday afternoon.

Jimmy and I had snuggled up for a movie when I received a phone call from my boss saying UW had cancelled classes and not to come in the next day. This was the first time in over 20 years that UW cancelled classes because of snow. At this point they were forecasting a blizzard with up to 16 inches when all was said and done.

When I awoke on Wednesday I looked outside and everything was white. I got Dash to take him outside only to find out he is terrified of snow and would not step off of the front porch. I thought how bad can it be. So I forced him off the porch. We both took a few step and sunk. He was basically swimming in the snow. It was up to his head.

So I quickly dug a path for Dash so we both could easily walk out to road for more clearance.

Once outside this is what I saw:

As you can see, the snow was really deep. Look at the level at Jimmy's legs.


This is me jumping into the big snow piles from the deck. It was like jumping into a swimming pool.

The path that we made in front of the house.

The back deck. Look at the grill.

Around 7am on Wednesday.
