yes, we got snow, snow and more snow...

Who would have thought that the weather man would be correct in his predictions for once?  Who could be wrong so much of the time and still keep his job?  Well, this time he was "right on."  We received about 6-8 inches of wet, heavy snow starting on Tuesday afternoon and it continued through the night into Wednesday.  The trees and shrubs bore the burden; many were bent to the ground, some were uprooted, and some broke off completely. 


We should have given Jeff (who lives down the street) our snowblower years ago. By midnight our drive was cleared and once the snow plow went, the end of the drive was cleared for us as well.  Had we only known....  Jeff does many driveways in the neighborhood over the winter.  This time, he and his son, Kevin, worked from 10 pm until 5:30 am and everyone's drives were cleared.  What a job!




We will say that the snow offered a beautiful scene and it was a fabulous opportunity for picture-taking.  David was at work, so I was left to do the best that I could.  Here are some pictures of a Wisconsin winter wonderland at an inappropriate time of year.
