January 5th, 2014
The first major snowstorm of 2014 hit with a vengeance on
January 5th, and it left us with a healthy amount of snow. These pictures were
taken between the two major snowfalls we received that day, so they do not show
the full depth of the snow. The snow was followed up by a deep freeze, with lows
near -13 degrees and single digit highs for a couple of days afterward. Needless
to say the kids (and Tara) got a couple of extra days tacked on to their winter
breaks this year!

The turn-around/flagpoles area wound up buried in snow (the
piles were to the top of the fence following the second shoveling of
the day).

We are in the lower right of the larger 15-18" area, and we got
every bit of that snow!
