SNOWDAY...Or Snow Week!

Sunday Night It began to snow...and snow! This was Monday morning when Winslow saw snow for the first time. It began around 3 a.m. This was about 7 a.m. We got a call that school would be closed. Cory began shoveling...and shoveling. Before he went up to ski. And when he got back he sholved some more. What the heck! The snow plow blocked the driveway with a huge birm after Cory cleared it.
Then the second day everything was very icy and we had another snow day off of school. We were able to venture out and keep dentist appointments in Orange County. But....when we got home during the night we got dumped on. It has been snowing all day and night. They have declared a full week off of school. We are officially snowed in. All major freeways around us are closed. We can't even get around the village.
Then Cory shoveld some more....We took a chance and drove on unplowed roads to help the Holzendorffs shovel. We had to use 4x4 low. Cory is a shoveling machine! Driving thru town, Park street looked like this.
This is the most snow we have ever had since we moved to Wrightwood. Look at the front porch. If you can find it....


The snow is covering the porch to the railing. We can't open the front door.

The back deck was completely covered to the railing also. Cory makes a path and tunnel for the dogs. That is our picnic table. Winslow climbed on top and jumped off into the back yard on the other side. Mom was worried he would sufficate. The snow was even with the deck in the yard on the other side.

Cory shoveled some more so Winslow couldn't do that again. He is sooo disappointed. He thinks he is a husky snow dog....not!
O.k. Cory gives a hug!
This is the front porch this evening. Look how high the snow is.

Looking out the front of the house.
And more snow tonight!
