Dear Winter,

I'm done with you.  You've given me more snow than I care to see for the next 5 years combined.  Enough is enough - it's only the beginning of February, let's not over-do ourselves.  I think just to spite you, I'm going to crank my heat up to about 80 degrees, open up a corona, insert a lime, and plop myself in front of our fireplace to dream about living in the South.

Love, Tina

The morning started off with a lot of snow (so bad we couldn't get out of our driveway), but little did I know that was nothing yet:

Check out the mondo icicle outside our bathroom window:

In the afternoon it started getting a little worse:

Then by dusk it looked like nothing I have ever seen:

Here is what it looks like from my front door:

Looking down my sidewalk - it looks like the sidewalks are shoveled, with just a dusting of snow, but the snow on the sidewalks is up to my knees at this point, and the mounds of snow are almost as tall as me (and I'm no shorty):

I do have to admit, it looks pretty with all the snow:

Jay and our neighboor shoveling out our driveway:

Looking left down my street (keep in mind this road was plowed about 5 times already):

Looking right down our street:

And one more shot from our front porch:

This past Saturday we got 23 inches, and today I think we're up to 12-18 inches already.  UGH!  Jay and I are going to attempt to take a walk and check out the area - I think we're both getting cabin fever and just have to get out for a while.  I'm just happy we still have power!  Hopefully everyone is surviving the storm ok!

Tina, these pictures looked pretty much like our world in Allentown on the 10th. We didn’t luck out this time and ended up with almost 2 feet of snow! Unfortunately, I heard that there’s more coming on Monday into Tuesday. Where are we going to go with it all? Anyway, your pictures are beautiful and really illustrate what the storm was like. I also loved your letter to old man winter!

They all look so pretty! You should print some of those for your walls since this may be (hopefully will be!) a once-in-a-lifetime experience :)

Too cute! I’m sorry you guys have gotten so much snow though, that looks absolutely insane! Also, happy belated birthday :) I hope it was a great one. Have a great week and stay warm!!

Ahhh….you know, I know you’re sick of it, but it really is quite beautiful. I can’t help it..I love snow storms! It’s the gunky remains that linger and turn black and won’t die until the first day of summer that I don’t like so much
