So far so good - got power, got heat, got gas for the snowblower (which is probably the only one in town- we are popular with neighbors today). Also got 20" of snow.
This is before the big earthmover (road grader?) came through to plow. Last night it was pulling commercial tow trucks up this hill. You can't even see the road anymore, but it's there, twisting and turning down towards the creek. Last night, it looked like it must have looked a hundred years ago - a narrow snowy country lane.
And this is my Swing Garden. Someplace under there are the water gardens. Slightly different than summer.
Little Greenhouse in the Blizzard. I no longer own boots after living in the South for 12 years, so I sent DH and DD out there to sweep off the top. The plastic material is from North Dakota so it is geared for the cold, and the snow weight. I'm just not too sure about the wooden frame.
Even the birds are snowed in.
And the yellow jackets under the yucca won't be coming up anytime soon.
About noon, this little snow plow showed up, but he decided didn't want to try the hill and headed off to the courthouse instead.
Meanwhile the rest of the state and southern West Virginia are a mess. Interstate 81 has hundreds of tractor trailers jackknifed and waiting for the National Guard to figure out how to remove them. This has cause a 15 mile traffic jam, with who knows how many people stranded overnight. The West Virginia Turnpike came to a complete stop overnight, with stranded motorists spending the night high in the mountains in their vehicles. They hope to get those pileups cleared sometime this afternoon.
Wherever you are, be glad you're not there.

Yes, very glad we're not there! I love it when it snows and suddenly roads disappear and look like they did hundreds of years ago. And I miss the idea of horses then, who I imagine walked right on through the deep snow. At least that's how I imagine it.
