That recent snowstorm

In February we got a snow storm which broke a record, with maybe 14". It was enough that before the plow arrived it was simply impossible to drive the van. One neighbor got stuck and had to park in our driveway awaiting the plow. It was a reasonably warm day, and fine for playing outside. Until mid afternoon the snow just kept coming and coming. I cleared the driveway three times before I was done. The U of R actually sent folks home at 2 PM, which it never does. I was glad to have been trapped at home and not have to deal with the commute.

Below are some photos from that memory day:

This gives a pretty good feel for how deep it was

This was a few days later. The boys asked to climb on the huge snow pile in the Wegmans parking lot. Easily 20' high. Also a very good time. I am sure there will be snow there until June.
