Winter Wallop #2

This is the second winter storm that we've had this season and according to the Farmer's Almanac, we're do for a few more before the winter is over. The snow started Friday afternoon around 4pm and it came down fast and hard. Again, in my line of work with the Red Cross we were totally prepared to set up shelters throughout the county. I was fortunate to come home and be here with Allen and Emma, but was pretty much working through the night on the phone and computer. The snow stayed pretty steady throughout the night and then on Saturday we saw a significant amount of sleet, rain and ice in addition to a few snow showers as it tapered off into the afternoon hours. I think in total we got between 8-10 inches this go around - there was a lot of snow! We literally just got to a point about 2 weeks ago where the snow finally melted from the storm we had in December.

Allen's mom was kind enough to make the long trip down here on Thursday to deliver the snow blower attachment that goes to our tractor, which came in handy yesterday - Allen was outside for 5+ hours clearing our driveway, parts of the road and our neighbor's driveways. Also, below there is a video clip that Allen took while he was out on the tractor. Enjoy!
