We have a LOT of snow ...

I've been wanting to drive to some place beautiful ... out in the country somewhere ... to take some pictures of ALL this snow we've accumulated here in West Michigan. Our roads have been pretty clear and dry for the last 48 hours (almost), but I've been too much of a sissy to drive anywhere very far away ...

So instead I have some not-very-interesting or exotic or beautiful pictures to show you. However, it's all I have! The picture above is our back deck and yard, looking from the family room ...
And this is the front of our house, where the sidewalk is that goes up to the porch ...
And this is our back shed with the thermometer that reads 71 degrees ... I know, I know ... the sun is blazing down right on top of it ... but isn't it a weird phenomenon nonetheless?
This is our next-door neighbor's front bushes drifted with snow ...
And these are OUR buried front bushes. Out in our neighborhood, between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, we picked up about another 14" of snow, on top of the 8-10" we already had ... that's quite a bit of snow! If I am brave enough tomorrow and I can find enough layers to squeeze into, I might take a hike somewhere and try to get some decent pictures ... but these single digit temperatures are NOT to my liking ...

What a ton of the white stuff. It
was brutal digging out.
