SNOW DAY!! SNOW DAY!!

Today, we decided to take a snow day. With me driving to Dayton and Jonathan working in Fairfield, there was no way we were going to brave the elements just to get to work.
Last night, Jonathan got a head start on the plowing of all this snow. We are pretty sure he plowed about 4 inches off the driveway before the next round of snow came in the middle of the night. By early morning we had another 5 inches in the driveway. When I had called into work to let them know I wouldn't be in today, Darke county was only at a level 2 emergency. By mid-morning, we were at a level 3-I no longer feel guilty for taking the day off. When the snow finally quit falling around 11:30am, we had a total of 8" in the driveway. Yes, that would make a total of 12 inches of snow in about a day and a half.
This is a picture of the at least a 3 foot high drift up against our back door.
Jonathan finally gets to give the Polaris a good workout. He is working hard at clearing our driveway.

This is the read we got from our yard stick in the driveway. This measures 8 inches of snow after he had already plowed 4 inches off the night before.


My husband. Always the good neighbor. This is neighbor #2 that he is helping to get plowed out. He just came inside to warm up. Since he loves the snow, I'm sure he will be back out there again later on today.
SPECIAL NOTE: One of the neighbors Jonathan just plowed out, just walked over to our house and gave Jonathan a fresh batch of Oatmeal Cookies. YUMMO!!
