Storm Update - Is it Over YET?

Day 5, but who's counting? This storm series really started on Monday afternoon, and its still going.... I have no idea how much snow will be the offical total, but I'm betting close to 60"! Last night, it raining like crazy..horizontal for the most part. That was ok, because the snow rinsed off the trees and did decrease the drifts a bit. But the snow started again about 10 pm and by 1 am (I woke up and had to look)... the view from my window made me think of a cake covered in white fondant. Here's the deck this morning, the chunk on the railing fell off in the wind last night so this is a new crop. And now its taller than the railing, which is at least 36" high. The neighbor's house from the same place on the sidewalk as yesterday's pix. Below, my house is on the left, and yes, that is BLUE SKY peeking thru...
The sun is just starting to come out! So welcome!

My poor elm tree on the driveway....

The ice cave, AKA the path to the mailbox (no mail delivery for 2 days).... those drifts are taller than I am!
Maybe we'll see more sun tomorrow!

Wendy! I knew you loved quilting, but had no idea you had SUCH TALENT! Just gorgeous creations! I was once gifted (2nd hand) a lovely decorative quilt. A friend of mine's sister-in-law is also a talented quilter, and has made many for my friend and her husband. She has so many that she decided to part with a few--lucky me! Just wanted you to know how impressed I am with the expression of your own creativity!!
