7 February 2010 - Big Snow!

This week, we got some seriously big snow -- about two feet. Madeline couldn't wait to try it out, but it was past her waist and she kept falling down. At least it was soft.This is a row of pine trees in our neighborhood.
A view of a little valley on the road to the church.
Downed power lines cut off power to 180,000 homes in western PA. Here are a few downed power lines. Our house kept power (probably because in our neighborhood all utilities are underground), but the church lost power over night.
This power pole snapped off along the road to the church. It's probably the culprit for knocking out the church's power. There were a couple others broken too.
Since we canceled church, I went over and decided to dig the church out. We have a super-awesome snow blower so the work wasn't as hard as it would have been otherwise. I had fun, and a few ward members came by to help. We even used the snow blower to dig out the widow across the street from the church. I took this shot while I was snowblowing.
Here's the front of the church with the snow blower half way up the front sidewalk.
The sidewalks look like luge tracks once the snowblower has been through.
Back inside and all warm, Madeline helped mommy make blueberry muffins.
