Old Man Winter

So, we absolutely love living out in nature where we do. However, we have noticed it does have some disadvantages in the winter. Tonight when we came home from work, with the kids in the car, we were unable to even attempt to get into our driveway due to the fact that it had drifted shut.

The two following pictures are what the driveway looked like when we left for work Wednesday morning and after I had snowblowed the 7" of drifting snow.

When we got home Wednesday night, the pictures below are what we found. This picutre directly below is looking at the driveway (somewhere in there) from the road.

Looking back toward the road from the garage area of the driveway.

We had to keep the cars out on the road and carry the kids in through the drifts of the front yard. I then ventured out later (after starting a fire!) to snowblow through the monster drifts in the frigid cold temps.

It is really beautiful out here though in the snow and we wouldn't trade it for anything! Well, except for maybe some snow fence.
