Our 13 inches of snow has brought our town to a stand still. Looks like the past three years of drought just may be over. We haven't seen this much snow in one event since 2003. Hopefully this winter will be cold enough and snowy enough to get rid of all of the flying biting insects and crawly things that annoy us during the summer months (fingers crossed). State officials have called for emergency travel only today, so we decided to set out on foot to have a look at our snowy wonderland.
Our friend Ellen decided to ski over to see us. She didn't even have to come up the two front steps, the snow was deep enough she just came right up on the porch!
Lulu just looked at us and said 'no way baby! I'm staying right here on the couch'!
Our friend Sally stayed with us for two days until she could travel safely to her place just on the edge of town. We had fun walking around the neighborhood visiting friends.

There has been another winter weather advisory issued for Indiana and the Ohio Valley tonight. We are expecting another 3 to 5 inches! Looks like we will have the shovel workout again tomorrow. No worries though as we need to work off that Christmas pudding so we can move on to that box of chocolates! :o) This is one benefit of having to shovel snow........

Freeing Sally's car from the driveway was a workout. Thirteen inches of wet heavy snow was like going to the gym and lifting weights. We had about an 8ft x 10ft block to clear to get her car to the street. Of course the plow coming by to wall her in was EVIL! :o)

HO! HO! HO!
We expect those piles of snow in front of the house are going to get even bigger by morning!
More coming in the next few days..............
