The Big Dig continues


The snow is up to Jensyn's waist.

She wants to go sledding, he's content just playing.  She's not happy and throws snow at him in disgust.

On top of the snow pile, she is taller than the lamp post.

Rylan is climbing on a pile that we have made from clearing out the driveway.  He looks about 5 feet high, and then some.
The snow stopped falling, the sun came out...and so did the neighbors, to shovel and dig, shovel and dig.  Several people worked on clearing out their driveways and then they all worked on shoveling a path out of the cul-de-sac.  With 6 driveways and a pipestem to consider, they made a sort of roundabout that all could use to leave their driveways and gain momentum up the hill.  It was quite an accomplishment.
Jen and Ry came out to play for awhile, but it was so deep the "frost nip" set in within 45 minutes, and back inside they went.  Sunglasses were a must with snowblindness a comment ailment.  I took a walk up to the main street that gets us into the neighborhood.  No plow has been here.  We have been stranded since Friday, but we made the whole day without losing our electricity.  It's a beautiful thing.
