So it started yesterday morning around 6:00 AM with some flurries, then turned to a steady snow. This is the backyard as it all began.
Sim and I headed out to get bagels for the family. I felt the Swedish side of me crave cream cheese with large slabs of lox with red onion. A quick stop at the grocery store for a few things and then we quickly hustled home. By 10:00 AM there was 4 inches on the ground and the air was full of large flakes. Everything was getting a nice coating of snow. THEN the wind started and the snow started coming down very heavy. By 
3:00 PM the sky was darken and the winds were blowing around 35 Mph. We were in near white out conditions almost from then on. I did a quick run to Home Depot for salt, and did the first go round of shoveling of the driveway and front walkway. By nightfall the snow was 20” inches and it was still falling heavily. Drifts were making it almost impossible to open the house doors. This morning The doors were snowed in again and after clearing the front door, porch and the front walkway, the final snow count was an easy 30 inches. I’m including a few photos for your viewing pleasure.

The new Bird igloo
The backyard going left to right
like the foot of snow on the shed
Those lumps as our juniper bushes
Fire pit and bird bath
The view form the front door of the neighbors
The front yard and walk way.
