Winter Storm Photos (by request)

Over the holidays we had quite the weather! We endured four storms in six days!! The first storm we had was the night of the 27th. I'd guess we got about 20 cms. The second storm was the 29th and I would guess we got about 30+ cms. The photos below are on the 31st, New Years Eve at Uncle Glenn's. I'd say we got 25+ cms.

Here is Victoria outside in the snow on the 31st at Uncle Glenn's with Cassie who you can't see.

Here is the snow in front of our house and our unplowed driveway after three storms in five days had passed. It's hard to tell just how high the banks were. The tree that is nearly burried and Matt's truck might help.
You can see the banks are as tall as Victoria. We walked into the house in snow up to our waist to get in. Fun times.
Here is the 4th storm, the 2nd of January. The worst one of all 4. We got 30+ cms and had very high winds blowing all of that snow all over the place!! Here's our back deck. The snow bank is as high as the door handle. How will Cassie go to the bathroom now?? haha
Looking outside our bedroom window Jan 2nd
Where is the driveway?? Matt plowed twice in one day just to get out the next morning.
There you have it!!

WOW! We don't have snow like that in Orlando! However, they had a really BIG accident on the I-4 between Orlando and Tampa this morning due to fog and smoke! The highway has been closed for several hours and at least 50 vehicles (20 of which were tractor trailers) were involved. Quite a disaster. The highway is also damaged due to the fires created by the many vehicle pile-up.

Love Mom
