More Blizzard pics

My brave little New Englanders decided to try out their Christmas hats, gloves, snow pants and sleds this morning during the great Blizzard of 2010.  Little princess, heading out with only her eyes exposed to the elements, let out a high pitched squeal as she sank up to her hips in the deep snow.
As you can see from these pictures, visibility was not good.  These pics were taken around 11 a.m.-- not at dusk, as the lighting would suggest.  The kids had a blast, especially when their daddy showed up to plow us out.  Poor daddy, he has been out plowing since about 3am.  Once the snow stops, he will have to go out and do it all over again!  He's tired. And not as thrilled about the storm as the kids are.
It's hard to tell how much snow we have, since it has been blowing and drifting.  On our deck, it looks like close to 2 ft!
Up to her hips!

Sledding

They're sitting down...can only see their heads

She fell and almost disappeared!

Just snow

Our handsome plow guy -- I've got a "thing" for him:)

The deck again

Thank you, Jesus, for a warm shelter from the storm, for hot food and drinks, and for the company of my family.  Please protect and bless all those who are cold, hungry and alone.

Blowing,
Drifting,
Howling,
Piling.

Biting,
Freezing,
Nipping,
Stinging.

The poor grill lost its cover sometime during the night

Notice the amount of snow on the picnic table--it's still snowing, too!!

You might be a redneck if....




....you see more than one moose per month!!



We were driving through Unity, NH a few weeks ago and a mom moose crossed the road in front of me. Following her were twin calves!!! This is not my picture....I wasn't fast enough to take one...but what a sight! The three littles were in the back of the van and they were very excited.


Then this morning, as I was yelling at...umm..I mean, helping my teenage son pick up the garbage a cat strewed all over the porch(grr...cats!) I heard a big crashing sound. My son looked at me and said, "Um, MOM! That was a moose!" I guess it had been roaming around the yard for a while (the neighbor said) and circled our house before we scared it away.


We traveled all the way up to Pittsburg, NH once (near Canada--moose country) and never saw one. Now we have seen 4 in the space of a month. Must be my new perfume... Eau de Swamp.......;)
