28.8 inches

That's what our local news station is reporting. I believe it.


Moses' school is across the street from us...
They had a snow day today.
Moses thought the snow drift across his window was pretty cool this morning:
The snow has brought out all sorts of wildlife, looking for food...
Just kidding. Those are the neighbors statues (yeah...I don't get it, either).
In addition to the 28+ inches of snow, there was considerable drifting. This was taken from the bottom of one of the drifts- which pretty much covered our entire side yard:

Another from the bottom of the snow drift. Somewhere in this 6+' drift are our stairs up to the back porch:

Moses and a neighbor friend had fun. Check out the swings on the swing set:


I want to always remember what Good Samaritan neighbors we have... I'm guessing they have observed our "city people" tendencies in the past, and knew we would need some help. I mean, it's not every day you look out your front window to see a tractor plowing your yard:

He hopped down at one point to make sure that K's power shovel wasn't in the way. I swear he looked at it like, "What is this little thing?"
Then he went on to make one impressive snow mountain. This is all from an area about 10' by 25':
Snow day #3 tomorrow!
