Snowy Shingles

Pictures can't fully portray the depth of the snow, or the whiteout conditions caused by blowing snow, but I thought I'd put up the views out the front and back of our Paradise anyway.

This is the front walk, just a few hours after Josh and Allen thoughtfully shoveled it for us. Jess's bike has been snowed under for a week, but Sara's and mine are safe and dry in the basement.

The snow drifts are highest in the middle of the back yard, so I got a straight-on shot from our back door. Beautiful view, isn't it?

Blizzards are so much cooler than regular snow. There's a whole new element of adventure, of having to deal with something new and slightly dangerous. And seeing peaks of snow forming like sand dunes is just cool.
