Snow, Snow, Snow!

You would not believe how much snow we have had this year!  In fact, we broke the all time snow record for Anchorage this year.  133.6 inches of snow!  These pictures were taken long before the record was broken, but it shows a good bit of the snow.  The month before the last snowfall was fairly warm (20s-30s) and sunny, so a good bit of the snow melted.

Ben had to be helped out of the snow.  It was too deep!

This is the pile of snow made by the guy who plows the driveway.  Notice how high it is compared to James and the shed!

The pile is over six feet high!  It never got taller, but grew closer and closer to the front of the house as the snow plow guy piled more and more snow in front of it!  He filled an entire area meant to park an RV (the big kind!) with over six feet of snow!
