Mountains of Snow!
How long will it take for this to melt?
This corner proved tricky to maneuver. Hope you didn't get stuck there!
The Christmas blizzard of 2009 cancelled family get-togethers, Christmas services, and after -Christmas shopping plans. Hope you and yours were safe and sound weathering out this storm.
