First BIG snowstorm of 2010 winter!!

We got our first BIG snow of the 2010 snow season in the begining of December, which wasn't THAT much snow and it wouldn't have been bad BUT it started with rain. It down poured for about six hours and then it DROPPED quick to below freezing, which meant it was freezing-and when it turned to snow it just put a pretty layer of snow over the ice. The final result ended up closing church, power lines down(we were fortunate enough to keep our power on)and about TWO inches of ICE under TWELVE inches of snow!!! HMMMM, not so nice and we were on the border of the storm so two days later I went to work and it didn't even look like it had snowed at all!! In the one picture Josh is brushing/scraping off his car with a shovel, and about five minutes later the plow came and plowed him in the road-hahahaha-I guess even if you've lived here for five years you can still forget that no matter how hard you try to clear something-the plow is ALWAYS just around the corner waiting to strike!!
