It's beginning to look a lot like... Iceland?

The snow has really piled up this year, more than the last 5 or 6 years, at least. These pictures are taken a few days apart but you can see that the snow is quite a bit higher and it has risen even higher since these were taken! Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Yep. That's at least 6 inches of solid ice on our roof. Yikes! We'd better do something about that!
It snowed so bad we got stuck in our own driveway!

These nice folks saw me shoveling and offered to pull us out... talk about embarassing!

Notice that in this picture the mail boxes are still above the snow line.
But here it is quite a bit higher. (You should see it now!) We're not sure what Evelyn was doing but she looks like she's waiting for the mail.
The girls had fun playing in the snow. By the way, we're not negligent parents, its just that Evelyn's idea of bundling up consists of her Sleeping Beauty gown, rain galoshes and, on rare occasions, a coat. What can we say, she's three.
You can't really see it here, but the snow on either side of the walkway is higher than Hannah's head. She always stops and says "whoa" when she comes out side.
Again, we're not sure what Evelyn is doing here (seems to be a pattern, doesn't it) but it looks like she's either rejoicing in or bemoaning the abundance of snow.

I was thinking I've got snow! A foot since Thursday and it still doesn't look anything like yours. I'm suddenly glad we moved from Idaho Falls to Wisconsin, though I thought this would be the snowy-er of the two. Stay safe with all that!

I am so jealous of your winter wonderland!!! We haven't had ANY snow! I'm thinking that Virginia decided to skip winter all together and just give us an extended fall. You think you could send some of that snow our way? We had freezing rain today, but that just made traffic worse, and sidewalks treachorous! We adore you guys and feel so happy to see your little girls... they are getting so big and so beautiful :)
