Snow! Snow! Snow!

It is exciting to be back in the land of snow, and oh is it ever snowy this year. My family had warned/prepared me for it, but it is still quite amazing. And there is less now than there was last week. Today, more of it is melting away :(

But, yesterday I went out and had some fun taking photos of the beautiful snow.

This is from our porch looking through the icicles (which I absolutely love) toward the Mission Mountains.  It really is quite a wonderful backdrop.

If that deck table had not been there, I wonder how far down that icicle would have reached!!

I really did like the icicles!!

Mounds of snow in front of the house!

Another view of the yard with the mountains in the background.  We have about 15 inches of snow at this point.

Here are our two little dogs, Coco and Lady/Queenie (I never know what her name is so I call her this; I'm not sure if she is Lady or Queenie due to some adoption issues).  They might look a little cold to you, but they're fine.  They are good mushers, after this photo they took me on a sleigh ride....just kidding!

Last shot--you can see the snow piles from the plow (and Alli's hard work shoveling!!).
