    as we get out and walk around more, here are some of the neighborhood pictures:

    all and all it was a grueling day digging out of the snow :) most people are not going to work tomorrow either :) took the ruler around out back, most of the spots were 22 plus inches, a few were up to 36, like on the side of the house. and there were drifts much higher in places :)

    Wow - Nice pics...

    Nice to have some light duty equipment nearby - I remember the various attachment when I drove a steer-skid loader.

    I've got a 25" snow thrower and my neighbor has a quad with a plow blade on it. We usually take care of one - another as well.

    Glad to know you're doing well...

    i am so waiting for the snow i haven't ever seen snow in georgia so its going to be exciting when there is even 3 inches of snow. But i am still waiting for snow, doesn't look like it will snow for christmas. But my nephews are coming for christmas so i guess it will be exciting without snow this year.

    snow in little quantities is fun :) this much snow, well... alot of the area is still under stress from it. going out and about we have one lane roads everywhere, due to the fact that there is just not anywhere to put this mass amounts of snow. sadly people are not patient and it is just a pain to get anywhere. not to mention, after a quick trip to the grocery store today, showed that there are not any fresh fruits and veggies, i guess that the trucks are still stuck and having a hard time getting to the stores :)

    and if you are in need of gas in your vehicle, you have to drive around town a bit to find out which stations have gas and whatnot. did i mention the fact that there is not anywhere to put this much snow, and the temperatures are staying in the thirties which really is not helping much, because the snow is not melting. alot of the major roads are clear, but they dont have turn lanes, so traffic gets backed up, and the side roads, well.. forget about it :) people are still getting stuck just trying to get onto a main road around here. and more people are getting out now, that they can finally get somewhere and finding out that everyone else is getting out. suckage :)

    but we have plenty of everything and are safe and warm and snug in our house :) *hordes the veggie tray* :) its a christmas not many are going to forget!!! :) oh and the malls who dont normally have parking spaces, have even less due to the fact that they have a few thousand spots filled with snow mountians :)

    and Kassa :) i am sure that you are going to have a wonderful christmas no matter what :) with family and friends it always makes it special!! :)
