My sons stood on our front porch railings and did front flips off into the snow drifts until I caught them and made them stop. I told my husband what they were doing and he said he and his brother climbed their neighbors antenna and did the same thing when they were kids. Crazy boys!
My daughter is 5'8 the snow on our sidewalk against the house was up to her hips. It took us five hours to dig out in Crystal Lake, Illinois. I'm 5'2 if I was to check the mail my daughter couldn't see me.
Our snow in Montgomery was up to our mail box. We obviously didn't get mail delivered today because our subdivision was just plowed a few hours ago, and they just made one pass through. No work or school for us in Yorkville and in Oswego. My night class at college has been closed due to inclement weather. Mother nature really did a good job with the snow 🙂 My kids and I had a great time playing in it today while we shoveled for 5 hours, no joke.
We sent the employees home yesterday at 2pm and went home ourselves.
Today, well, we were very lucky..our driveway runs E to W and was clear, except for the snow drift and plow left snow that was up to the bottom of the mailbox.
For some reason, recently DH and DS had changed the oil in the snowblower, put gas additive in the gas tank and changed the spark plug. It worked like a charm! I got to break down the drift so that DH could move the snow since the snow was way deeper than the snowblower was tall. Its all good.
Probs will have the employees, who work outside for part of the work, start later tomorrow so the cold won't be as bad for them.
Yeah, up here in Mchenry Co. they shut down portions of major roads...we went out to get a new shovel and it was slow going. My dtr. has been off for 3 days now.
I wish we could've taken a pic of my car. I have Pacifica. The snow was so high on the drivers side, we couldn't find the door!!! Dh and dd were shoveling in shifts. DD wanted to go to see her boyfriend so she was motivated, lol.
Well, I hope to see my car before April!......parked on a side street next to my building and I have ZERO plans on digging it out.....no point as there would be no place to park if I left 🙂
WOW!!! Anti-gravity snow. HE'S FLYING!!!
yup - us too! Did you get all shoveled out? Thank goodness we have a few days to dig out before conagra starts! lol 😀

I just noticed the drift in the background behind your van! It is up to the mailboxes!
LOL -- luckily it was my neighbor's van! (Well, not luckily for her 🙂 -- dh did help dig her out...)
