When I went to bed last night, there were two inches of snow on the ground even though it had been snowing for seven hours. Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning and 25 more inches had fallen overnight! At 5:21 PM EST, there are 31 inches of snow on my deck. This is outrageous! (Oh, and the sun came out as soon as it stopped snowing! When does that happen?)

27 inches of snow when I woke up.

The snow was above my bedroom window. Granted, my bedroom is in the basement but the snow rarely comes up to the window.

I got snow on my ankles on the very first step outside. I thought they were bundled up nicely but the snow still got through (the snow was up to my thighs!).

A winter wonderland? That phrase doesn’t work so well after Christmas.

There was enough snow to make an igloo! It was a lot of fun.

You couldn’t even see most of the younger kids over the piles of snow.

First time I’ve ever seen those trees bent that far over. You can also see in this picture how windy it was – there was snow blowing all over the place.

Final count: 31 inches. We haven’t seen a plow since yesterday, I doubt I’ll be going anywhere any time soon.
