Snow, Snow, and More Snow

I remember it snowing a lot when I was a kid.  We use to get TONS of snow.  But I haven't seen snow like that for years.  The last few years there hasn't been hardly any snow.  I really can't remember the last time we had a white Christmas.
Well, I guess it finally figured out how to snow in Utah again because we are just getting dumped on this year!
Several weeks ago this is how much snow we had.

 We had a few days with lots of rain and we were excited to see our grass again.  Well Sunday night that all changed.  Salt Lake got slammed with snow and Tuesday is when we were dumped on.  Devin shoveled before he went to work.  I shoveled when Anna left for preschool, and then we shoveled again later that afternoon.  This was the snow on our garbage can, all from that one storm.

 Anna and Nicholas love playing in the snow.  I am glad they can play while I shovel.

 Can you see how high the piles of show are?

 Anna kept falling in the snow and had a hard time getting up because it was so deep.

These are the cool icicles that form in my tree.  Pretty cool! 

 Tuesday after I shoveled our driveway for the third time this is what the pile of snow looked like.  It is almost as tall as Anna.  We had a lot of snow again last night and the piles are even bigger now.

 Our nice neighbor went out and plowed everyone's driveway and sidewalk and the whole cul de sac today.  The kids loved watching him plow, and do donuts.  He was spinning pretty good today.

As much as I love the snow, I sure hope the groundhog DOESN'T see his shadow on Saturday.  I think we are about done with winter here.  But I must say, the snow, as long as you don't have to drive anywhere, is really pretty and it sure warms things up.  I don't know if I can take much more of these single digit days.
