A Snow Event...

It should be no surprise to most of you that I love snow.  I don't think there is anything that I don't like about it...or winter in general.  However, I like to get a big massive snowstorm, followed by a week or two of nothing, then another big massive snowstorm.  Well, obviously I can't order the snow, and I tend to have my patience tested when it snows like it has been over the last few days.  We basically have had a light snowfall, steady for almost three days straight.  Our snow totals in Bloomington are somewhere in the eight to ten inch area.  The reason I don't like snowfall like this is you never get a chance to get caught up on shoveling, plowing, ect.  It seems that once you finish you might as well do it again!  Maeve and I have managed to stay on top of the snow the best we can, and as I type this, the snow has finally stopped and after dinner tonight, Maeve and I are going to be going out again to get the driveway cleaned up for good!

Day 1 & Day 2


Day 3


As you can see, all of these little snowfalls combined with a little bit of wind, and you can have a pretty big mess!  Needless to say, the snowblower got a pretty good workout over the last few days!  Even though I don't like "little" snowfalls spread out over a couple days, it is still snow and I will take it and have a big smile!
