It Actually Snowed Last Night

It doesn't snow often here in the bottom of the valley. It usually just sticks to the ridgetops. When it does snow down here it usually melts within a few hours. So it was bit of a surprise when I awoke this morning and saw this much snow...


And it was wet, heavy snow, so there were broken branches all over the place. The neighbors were out chainsawing one branch so they could get out of the driveway. I had to move my car because the huge branch it was under was bending dangerously. Here is what our street looked like...


This is our clothes-line thingy...


And, of course, all the local children were out playing in the snow. This smarty-pants is scooping snow out of the gutter using a plastic pitchfork...


And what am I doing to celebrate the snowfall? Yeah, you guessed it...
