Nope, there will be no going out for us today.
Not with 14 inches of snow and a Level 2 blizzard warning - which means driving is discouraged and you should call before heading to work. Other surrounding counties are at a Level 3, which means you could be arrested for driving on the road! Keeping in mind that pictures really cannot do it justice, here is what we are looking at outside today!
You can see our car buried out there and the maintenance crew attempting to clear the way. As I took this picture, one of the guys got stuck outside our gate on his snowplow ATV!
The view outside our back door. You can see the top of our air conditioning unit - barely. That snowdrift out there beyond it has to be three feet tall.
Another view out the back - this is a shot of our neighbor's patio. No sunning themselves outside today!
And the view from our front door. I was just praying that little snowdrift wouldn't break and spill into our entryway! Parker thought the bushes looked like "pieces of cake with LOTS OF FROSTING ON THEM!" Thinks like his mama, that one.
**STORM WATCH UPDATE**
We ended up with 20.5 inches of snow dumped on us by the end of yesterday! Needless to say, the whole city was practically shut down, church canceled, and we haven't left the house (aside from walking out to see neighbors) in two and a half days! Here is a shot of the boys on the back patio - Peter still has a good four to six inches under his boots in this shot, so that should give you some idea of the winter madness we are living in!
Hopefully it will melt before I go stir crazy again!

Wow, that is crazy! I've never heard of getting arrested if you drive in the snow! What do police and emergency response workers do? It sure is pretty, though! Hope you aren't housebound too much longer!
I like how Parker thinks! Too bad I can't always think of the sweet things in life when it blizzards!
Holy Crap thats a lot of snow. We've got ducks outside and daffodils blooming!!!
P.S. I'm loving your play list. Dave Matthews Band rocks!
I saw your weather conditions on the news and ran over to my computer to check out your blog! WOW!! I actually think this is really cool! And I LOVE Parkers comment! I actually was thinking something similar.
I do hope you aren't homebound for too long and y'all stay safe and keep your power and all that jazz!
Nice pictures! You'll have to take more as the day goes on!
Oh, wow! That's a lot of snow. Hope you guys stay safe and aren't housebound for too long. Love Parker's comment!
My friend..I..I'm sorry (Maverick). SNOW SUCKS!!! I'll be praying that a large bucket of hot water the size of Columbus rains down on you to melt everything.
Sorry you're stuck inside. I have to say that our blogs look odly similar--we even took some of the exact same shots! Hope you have an enjoyable Sunday without church!
lol mateo, you so funny.
What a great excuse to just be lazy and enjoy the family. Maybe you have seen each other a little too much by now. Hopefully you had enough groceries and that the sun comes out soon!
WUSS!
Ok, I'm kidding. Talk about INSANE! I have never experienced anything like that! 20 inches is just pure madness! Hope you had chocolate in the house, or it may have actually been a tragic weekend! Hope the sun comes out soon!!!
Oh and I love All AMerican Rejects - great workout music!
You experienced a historic storm! I am so jealous! As long as it doesn't last past the weekend, enjoy the chance to hide away from all responsibility...whoohoo!
Okay....you just freaked us out!!! seriously. don't know how excited I am to move now. I hope the sun comes out soon and melts it ALL!!!!
memories!!!!!
holy snow. that can't be what you were looking forward to seeing in the morning. i'm sending you sun vibes right now.
ravioli??? HOLY CANNOLI!!! You weren't kidding! Just be grateful you aren't going to be living in Ohio next winter!
Yucky snow, go away! Glad you were able to get out last week. Hope the road crews are able to get about their business soon!
Wow, that's some crazy snow! I hope you guys get to leave your house soon. There's only so much you can do outside! My grandparents live in Ontario and got that system you had. They said they haven't seen this much snow in a very long time. And they've lived a very long time!
Love the update! Unbelievable!!
I can't believe how much snow you ended up with! Totally crazy. Hope you can get out of your house soon.
I am glad you found our blog! I always thought yours was private for some reason until I saw Lisa's post a couple of days ago!! Now you'll catch me on yours!! This stuff is addicting. I'll add you on my list if that's ok. I went back and read some of your older posts and cute, cute blog! I'll be back I promise. And I love the title! ;)
Michelle....I found your blog!! I kept seeing your comments on other blogs but could not directly hook up with your blog. So finally I asked Kristy what your blog name was and found you. Love all the snow!! In the last week we have finally found out that Massachusetts does have grass.
