Blizzard, you say.  Oh my, I think I completely underestimated what a blizzard was.  We can hardly just say we got snow we got SNOW and thunder snow (didn't even know that was possible).  This morning waking up to a pure thick blanket of snow approximately 16 inches seemed like a perfect opportunity to just stay in bed, but we knew the driveway must be shoveled, but since it was still snowing and blowing all over the place, we put a hold on that so our first thought became...

....................... let's let the dogs out to play and Elvis was at first hesitant and Shadie wouldn't even leave the back door.  Eventually she went out and Elvis went dashing into the yard, he made huge leaps in the snow and almost appeared that he made a tunnel similar to what a groundhog would do.  Ironically today is groundhog day, poor groundhog only gets one day and mother nature took that away from him.  And to think he didn't see his shadow, which means only 6 more weeks 'til summer.  It actually seems like a joke on a day like today that spring is close, especially when there are mountains of snow.

Took about 3 hours for Chris and I to shovel our way through our driveway, sidewalks, and front walk, but we did it!  It felt like such an accomplishment and it was exhausting to say the least.

In this kind of weather I guess there is only one thing to do in this snow and that is to enjoy it, otherwise it's going to be a long rest of winter!
