Christmas Blizzard 2016

It's our fourth winter in NoDak and finally we got a "bad" storm! Well, actually, this is the third storm this month! They said we were due for a bad winter and so far the predictions have been right! We have already had 3 snow days at work (and kids' school), and tomorrow will be our 4th work snow day! It was a blizzard with 54MPH in some places, and we got 12.5" snow (while other places got 22"!). Major interstates have been closed and there is a no travel advisory issued. Christmas night we even had thunder snow which I had never heard of before. That is thunder and lightning with heavy snow - it's a rare occurrence! Let's see how long it takes to dig us outta here! 

Craziness!

Hard to push open apartment door leading outside. Neighbor & I shoveled from Christmas night; snow came up to half way up the door. In the morning, there was more snow half way up the door again!


It's a struggle!

Climbing!

The start of it...Christmas evening.

Notice how high the snow drift is in the background; coming to top of fence.

 Windows almost completely covered.

 How high/deep the snow is in the middle of our parking lot!
Do not believe these pics do justice.

This is a vehicle here in town that is completely covered with snow!
