It's a Blizzard Here!


We had the BIG snowstorm Saturday (28.5 inches in Philadelphia) while we were still traveling home from Walt Disney World.  Yesterday hubby snow blowed the driveway but you would never know it as the snow continues to come down last night and today.  Everything, and I repeat, EVERYTHING, is closing down here in SE PA.  The county offices, the city offices, the malls, the airport for in-coming flights, the schools and scheduled activities.  It appears that our neighbors aren't going to work either.   Since hubby cleared the driveway we had at least 7 to 8 inches more (snow is so heavy and wet it is packing down) and they are predicting 8 to 10 inches additional.  It's great to not have to worry about getting to work - now that we are retired we can enjoy just watching the beauty of the snowfall.  It's becoming a blizzard and the winds are suppose to pick up this afternoon to around 30 MPH.  Enjoy our photos of the snowfall today. 


Our deck and heated birdbath covered with snow...


Front yard - you can just see the indentation of where hubby cleared walkway yesterday to front door...


Snow plow coming down our street...


Snow plow continuing up our street...


Back yard deep in snow...


Front yard again - driveway filled in again with snow...poor hubby


Me with the snow falling hard...

Now they are saying this storm could cause power to fail due to the heaviness of the snow and the strong winds coming.  Keep your fingers crossed for us that we don't lose power.  Just heard on TV Bucks County (further north of us) has declared a state of emergency.  

It is snowing where you are?

    Hi Sandy - definitely not snowing here and thank you. You have helped cool down a very hot, sticky person.
    My oh my that snow. Love viewing it, but don't want or need to think about everyday living with it.
    Oh well, pick up the hook and yarn, that will keep you warm

    Hi Sandy,
    That is a lot of snow! I am here in Florida right now, although headed to Alaska in a couple of weeks so we'll just enjoy this "warm" weather right now. I hope you do not lose power. Glad you do not have to travel to work in it! Your pictures are beautiful.

    Wow, that is a LOT of snow. It is beautiful though. I love snow, but I only want it December through February. Even here it seem that spring is nowhere in sight.
    Lovely pictures.
    Enjoy the cosy blanket and stay warm.;)
