Big Snowstorm!

On Sunday, we had the biggest snowstorm of the winter so far! In BG, we had about 9 inches of snow; around the area, totals ranged from 8-15 inches. It started snowing late Saturday night, and kept right on snowing until after midnight on Sunday. After that, the wind really kicked in, and the roads were bad enough that schools, universities, and many businesses closed on Monday. Although they didn't announce it until 5:30 Monday morning, BGSU even closed for the morning and cancelled classes until 5pm. After a somewhat restless night wondering about how that would turn out, Mark and I thoroughly enjoyed a bonus day at home. Though I worked most of the day, we did take a break in the afternoon to brush off our car and play around a bit in the snow. It was a beautiful, sunny day!

The parking lot in front of our building. Our apartment
complex does a really good job with snow removal.

In front of our building. You can see how high the snow is here
if you look on the left--compare the top and bottom railings.
The snow is deep because of blowing/drifting. 

Cool tire tracks in the snow. 

This is the biggest pile of snow we've ever seen at our apartments.
(If you look closely, you can see that my eyes are closed--bummer!)

I couldn't resist making a snow angel, but it would have
been better if I'd had some snow pants!

Another drift, this one behind our apartment building.

Today, the main roads and our apartment parking lot are in pretty good shape, but we're supposed to have two more small storms moving through--one tonight, one tomorrow afternoon--bringing us another 2-4 inches. I guess winter is in full swing now!
