The biggest storm of the season!

Wow talk about a storm! We received about 24 inches in 48 hours and after enjoying a California style winter. Can't wait to see the beauty this storm leaves behind. (All the lush green grass, hills, flowers....)

Look at how much snow in just 24 hours!
Rick shaking some snow off our branches. Heavy wet snow not good for wee little branches.

Our neighbor clearing out our cul-de-sac with his ATV. Cul-de-sacs are the last to be plowed.

Thankfully our other neighbor helped Rick clear our driveway for the umpteenth time!

Having fun in the snow.

A couple of guys and their son were out joy riding and got stuck. What were they thinking? It provided some good Saturday evening entertainment.
More neighbors coming out to see what's going on. Rick went out to see if they needed any help, but our neighbor down the street drove up in his mighty Ford Excursion. Ford vs. Chevy...uh oh!
It took a while, but the Ford finally got the Chevy out. Free at least!
Now the meltdown begins. We're expecting 70+ degree temperatures next week. Can you say mud? Or shall we say muddy children?
