Winter Wonderland

Today has been the first clear day pretty much all week. Christmas Eve was the beginning of a major storm that blew through - it was insanely windy! Christmas day we woke up to more wind and the power even went out for about 45 minutes. That is unusual for Utah because we can handle winter storms. Mom and Bob had a tough time making it over to our house Christmas morning because the major road to our house was closed due to the storm. They ended up making it and the power did come back on so all was well. Yesterday was more of the same storm. So here are some pictures of the aftermath. As you can see from the neighborhood shots, we've got quite a bit over here. It's not the most we've seen though in our neighborhood - last year's storm was worse, but that was in February or so. We'll see if we get blasted worse than this current storm!

The neighborhood park is in front of our house - lots of people out sledding today!

More sledders

This is the view from our back porch, you can see the piles of snow

This is the snow ON our porch...Belle has been having issues going potty since the snow...she just goes right on the deck :P We should shovel the snow hahaha

This is our shed and the big snow drift in the back yard. It's hard to tell but you can see all of Belle's prints in the snow - she runs around like crazy when it snows. She loves playing in the snow!
