The morning of the blizzard

I'm not sure what the total was for the night, I'm sure we got at least 8", although our yard had more like 10" from all the drifting.

The crow is more buried. lol

I love how the snow piles everywhere!

The wind must have really blown across our patio!

The swirl on the roof, makes me think of the curl on a baby girl's head. Maybe I should climb up and stick a bow in it, lol.

Come on birdies, come and eat, oops, maybe we should clean the feeder off first.

The snow plows had been by before we went out, about 8am!  They sure are on top of it!  So, the guys cleared our driveway, photos to come, then we ran out to Starbucks and to look around!  What a glorious morning!

Watching and Waiting

I couldn't resist popping out at nearly midnight to snap a few photos of the progress of snow. :)

I love how the snow flocks everything.

I love the lights make stars.

Mr Crow is getting buried.

Waiting for the blizzard :0)

THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO REACH AN INTENSITY LEVEL NORMALLY OBSERVED ONLY A FEW TIMES EACH DECADE...AND THE AREA HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED BY A STORM THIS STRONG IN YEARS. ~I find this very exciting!

It has been snowing little flakes all day.  I'm so excited we have a blizzard coming tonight!
