The snow continued to fall well into this afternoon, dropping several more inches in our area. I'm told that the last storm of this magnitude to strike the area was ten years ago, in the early spring of 1998. Estimates for snow in the last 30 hours range anywhere from 10 to 18 inches, depending on who you trust. We had planned a dinner party for tonight with another family in our ward, and were very uncertain whether or not they'd even be able to make it, but upon inspection it appears as though the main thoroughfare between our house and theirs has been cleared, so they're going to attempt the drive in their pickup truck. Hopefully our meal proves worth the trouble!
This is Ammon's car, mostly buried by the drifts that continued until about 3 o'clock this afternoon. We briefly entertained the idea of trying to get out to go buy some ice cream to go with the pie I'm baking for dessert, but decided against it when we contemplated digging out either one of the vehicles. On my dream list for a house: a heated garage.
I'm not sure you can make out this picture, but this is the drift of snow right outside our front door. Right now it's about 15 inches.
These are the same bushes that I took a picture of this morning, with considerably more snow on them.
