What a white winter wonderland we have here! The blizzard here on the East Coast was incredible… we were spared any power outages so far and know that we are lucky. I feel for those nearby that did lose their power, and still are without power today. It is COLD out! It looks like we broke the previous record for snowfall set in 1996, with over 32 inches of snow! The kids hustled out today leaving plates of bird food, hoping our feathered friends will find it. Everything is buried!
Here are some photos of how we fared in the last few days. You may be wondering what this gigantic marshmallow-looking thing is in this first photo….it’s a table out on the deck! It’s a good representation of just how much snow we have around here!
Thank you for stopping by my chilly neck of the woods! My next post will be the big BEAD SOUP PARTY show and tell!

Your table does look exactly like a giant marshmallow! Stay safe and warm! That really is ALOT of snow! You have us beat (and I am not jealous, not one bit)! I hope the snow goes away soon, your and ours.
Have a wonderful day (when you get up, I mean)!
I have just shown my 16 year old your photo’s. So much more snow than shes has ever experienced. Enjoy it as much as you can.
Wow! keep warm 🙂
Aaaaarghhhh ! Too much snow poor Cindy, we saw the images on TV from Eastern coast of USA, that’s just incredible ! Hope everything become normal rapidly.
Take care.
I was thinking about you this weekend, knowing you were in the midst of this storm! Glad everyone is safe. Looks like the boys enjoyed all the snow.
Hi Cindy!
Glad to see you survived the snow! The kids look like they’re having a ball! It’s been quite a year for snow. Hope your electricity stayed on the whole time. It’s too cold to go without heat for any length of time. The pictures are lovely!
Happy digging!
Cindy
OMG! I thought we had lots of snow! The table looks amazing! The pics are SO crisp especially with the boys in red! ;o)
Hope it clears qucikly for you, although it does look nice! ;o)
hugs
hello gorgeous xxx
WOW!! It really piled up!! I hope you all are able to have some fun in it. They are calling for “signifcant” snow fall in Rochester on Wednesday… my guess it won’t be nearly as much as you have!!
Unbelievable! I’ve been hearing from friends and family back there about the crazy snow, but I can’t even imagine! Have fun!
this has been a real winter for sure – being near the ocean, we often are on the rain/snow line – but we have gotten hit big with those 2 storms also – and again on tuesday night? wow! looking forward to bead soup…
thanks for sharing these pics. looks like the sun has come out. we have been spared this winter but know what it is like to dig out afterwards. glad you all are ok.
Wow….I wouldn’t wish that snow on anyone but kids! It looks pretty, but I think it is pure evil! And soooo cold….hope you can stay warm and enjoy it somehow!
I can not even begin to imagine that much snow. Or how to deal with it for that matter. Your little table looks like an angel food cake with coconut frosting. Glad you haven’t lost power. I’ve been thinking about all of those folks out there.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! Hope you guys are keeping warm! Thank you for your comment on my new banner. As you can see, I like to play around with Photoshop. I get bored with my blog page in about a minute. BTW, I just had to say that I think you have the cutest kids!
I remember the days of lots of snow…I sure do not miss it! The kids look like they are having so much fun and the pictures are wonderful!
Wow Cindy, what a challenge! I’ve been thinking about you ever since I heard the snow news the other day. I guess life is about snow, and not much else. Glad to hear the power stayed on!!
Glad you and your family are doing alright – isn’t the snow incredible, it turns everything into ‘something else’! 🙂
That is amazing. Great pics, though! Thanks for showing us what “real” snow looks like.
Wow!!! I haven’t seen that much snow in a long time. Fun for the kids–they look happy in the photos. Stay safe and warm. Before you know it we’ll be complaining about how hot it is.
Cindy,
Oh, the snow looks so pretty. We ended up not even getting a flake! But we are on the hit list for Wednesday, calling for 7 inches, which doesn’t even compare to the amount that you got. Stay warm!
Sally
Oh. Dear. Lord.
That’s A LOT of snow >.<
It looks so gorgeous but looks can definitely be deceiving. LOL At least your kids had a great time playing in it-I remember my sister and I at that age LOVED to get on our gear and play in the snow 🙂
Keep warm!
I’ve been surprised more than once this winter by how much snow my friends in more southern states have gotten. In northern NJ, we have been passed over a few times. Sat, we were supposed to get 3-6″ and got nothing while at the Jersey shore, they got almost 2′. We are supposed to get 12-18″ Tues into Wed and I am really hoping it all hits in such a way that I get at least one snow day out of it. Hope you are all still warm, toasty and lighted.
Looks like all the snow we already have and we are supposed to get more. THere is no where to put all of it. I hope it melts slow. If it melts fast we are in trouble.
Stay warm. Very nice pics.
Kathy
We were extremely happy in upstate NY to be spared of snow. We are quite content just watching it from afar! Stay warm!
Wow Cindy you really got a lot of snow! We got a lot too but not as much as you guys did. And now they are calling for 10″ more starting tomorrow afternoon! I truly love the snow but we’re working on our third straight week of NO school!! It’s like summer vacation in the middle of winter…Looks like the kids enjoyed the snow! Do they make boots for snow that deep?
Awesome pics! Wish we were there to soak it all in with you all! 🙂
Hi Cindy-Thanks for leaving the nice comments on my blog about my little studio. Such great photos of all the snow and are those your cute kids? The photo of the Honda almost completely covered with snow is hilarious! That’s how it’s been for us this Winter as well and I can’t park in my garage because it’s been turned into a workshop for the construction. Hang in there-Spring will be here soon! 🙂
That last photo looks like a great Christmas photo!
LOVE the photo of the boys in their red jackets against the snow, bare tree branches and the gorgeous sky! You should enter that photo into a photo contest!!! They look like “human cardinals (the bird kind)” playing in the snow and trees! Thanks for posting. We got about 5 inches Tuesday into Wednesday! Pretty good for Michigan!
