Almost Record Breaking Snow

We had a crazy amount of snow this winter, but our family really enjoyed it (for the most part).

I took the kids sledding one snow day.  Brig did NOT like being in his snow clothes.

We had a lot more snow fall after I took this picture.  The snow piles everywhere were enormous!  The depth in our yard averaged about 3ft, while my piles approached 5 ft. 

Alex came out to help me shovel several times.

We had a series of storms that dumped snow every three days for two weeks.  I needed reinforcements one day, so Jim and Annie came out to help.

I took this picture in the middle of the night.  It was SO light outside.

The kids had a lot of fun playing in the snow.

Hot chocolate to warm up!

Ha ha!

After about two weeks worth of melting, we started seeing grass!  Hooray!  It took a few more weeks for almost all of it to be gone.  (There are still some small piles in parking lots and such.)

As of today, we're 0.3 inches away from breaking the record for the snowiest winter our city has seen! 59.2 inches!!!
