I live out by Litchfield in the country. I can't even measure how much snow we got, sooo many drifts. The deck drift is about 3 feet high. Then I have bare spots where I can see the grass. The wind has made some interesting designs with the snow.

I'm from the Twin Cities too. You win though...Shokopee got the MOST with 21.5 inches! I think we were pretty close to 20 inches. A good weekend for baking, wrapping, and QUILTING! Except for the frigid cold now, I love being snowed in!

If they pulled the snowplows off the roads the mailman won't come. Make something from your stash and everyone will be safe and warm.

Be safe and warm. Hope the Packers get to play today. Vikings won't be playing. I heard their stadium roof collapsed in one section from the weight of the snow. Oh well. The Giants were stuck in KC (rerouted flight) because of the storm. The best part of retirement: The freezer is stocked and I don't HAVE to go out when it snows. Yes, we do get snow in this part of AZ.

I grew up in MO and always enjoyed snow. Then married with an Air Force guy and first tour was Fairbanks, Alaska, then on to Dayton, OH (more snow-happy camper) then ILL and to Mongomery, Alabama where if the word snow sent everyone into a teasy!! Schools closed even the KMart I worked at. Then we retired in East TN with very little snow. :( So as I sit here in our RV in Jacksonville, FL I want to go home because they are calling for snow. Nothing prettier or so refreshing. My special quilting time. Hang in their snowbounders!!

My husband won't be doing anything for another 5 weeks at least. He just had his surgery a week ago Friday. I went out this morning and shoveled off the steps. My future son-in-law is coming over to blow the snow from the driveway (must be 4 feet high at the end of it) and the sidewalk since we don't know when my son will get done. It's going to be a challenge for him!!
