Stranded!

I recently said that I thought someone had canceled winter in Iowa and had not told us, so we decided to come north to look for winter. We found it! This morning, we found about 10" of fresh snow on the ground, and it is still coming down hard with maybe another 10" yet to arrive. When Gail and Greg were here, we had some difficulty getting in and out of our driveway because of prior snows. Indeed, we got our car stuck twice and had to dig it out. I have no hope of going anywhere anytime soon. Good thing we went to town and stocked up on groceries yesterday!

Here are a few shots to show you how things are going. When I took these a couple hours ago, I had just scooped the snow off our two entrances and to create spots for the dogs to get out. Already, there are at least a couple more inches already down on those areas. The photograph below of the snow piled on the railing looking out toward the lake will give you some idea of what we are getting.

It is pretty, and we are all snug and cozy in our winter wonderland!

This is so beautiful. The dog obviously likes being out in the snow. We have to go a long wY for snow and don't always get good falls . I believe last season was a good one xxx see you soon! Love Mrgaret and Murray
