Oh, the weather outside is frightful...and that's pretty much it.

OK, OK, the weather isn't that bad anymore but the last two weeks, I've seen more snow than I ever have in my LIFE! That's not saying much since I was raised in the desert of El Paso but let's just say that I've never seen a snow storm like this in all my 10 years in Montana. It snowed and snowed and snowed some more. The plows didn't even try to keep up...they just waited until the weekend was over and we had a clear day. The pictures I'm posting don't do it justice...you just had to see it. We had over 2 feet in one storm, then the next week had another 2 feet in just a couple of days. It was hard when the kids asked me if they could play outside and I had to say no because the snow was too deep. They would have been up to their necks in it! I'm not even exaggerating! Jesse and I did take advantage of the amazing snow by taking a date night up to Big Mtn for night skiing...sweeet.
This pic was taken on my walk one day after the plows had finally come through. It was actually pretty outside and it was sooooo great to get some fresh air.
This is Jacob standing by our back door. This is no optical illusion...the snow is piled up against the back door and is as tall as Jake's shoulders! Good thing we don't use that door. Also, we have a deck off our back door that's at least 2 feet off the ground and the snow is 2 feet tall on top of that.

This is the tunnel I created while I was shoveling my front walkway and steps. Let's just say my back got an awesome workout baby!



Here is the snow piling up higher than our front deck. If you didn't know anything about our house you would just think we had a front porch that was level with the ground.


Here is the snow touching the bottom of our Remax sign...crazy, huh?

Looks like we got out of Montana just in time! That's a crazy amount of snow! Where are you guys living now? Are you renting a house that's for sale or did the sale of your house fall through? The pictures didn't look like the last house you built, but I'm just curious . . .
