Snowed in.

I put my morning off to good use ... I started the shoveling effort for our front driveway and porch areas. 

This is what our porch looked like this morning. When the snow fell, it was quite windy so the snow ended up forming lots of drifts ... some very deep.

Nice new fluffy cushion on our porch swing. 

Somewhere under all the snow is our street and a sidewalk.

My trusty blue shovel had its work cut out today.

I quickly noticed that I was the only one out "removing snow" with out one of these. I gotta get me one of those.

Our neighbor gets the "Neighbor of the Year" award - he offered to use his snow blower to clear off our driveway :) that made me very happy. I'm baking muffins to repay them.

The TV is running a "most schools and businesses are closed, no travel advised" message across the screen. I hope they cancel work this afternoon. Corey made it to work safe ... although he's one of two, out of 40 or so in his area that made it in so far.
