Winter Wonderland?

So we got about 4' of snow over the past two weeks! We get snow in Virginia but not this much and I have to say I had cabin fever bad at the tail end of the last storm. After being cooped up in the house for a week, the kids and I were ready to go out even just a short trip to the mall. But boy was that a mistake, because us and everyone else wanted to get out too. The roads were fine but the parking lots were half taken by story-tall walls of snow and everyone seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere. Except me of course, so I got a little frustrated by all the road ragers.

I have to say it's beautiful and I enjoyed it at first but now I am ready for Spring! And the sun for that matter! Looks like snow is at bay for now, and I am just praying that God will bring us some beautiful Spring weather soon so we can start going outside to play. Here are some pics of our Winter wonderland...

Our street as we headed out to visit Grandma and Grandpa.

The farm road we take to get to Grandma and Grandpa's...normally a gravel road. We did fine with our awesome 4x4 Tundra. We ran into two cars that should not have been on this road; a RAV-4 with 4 wheel drive. Brian pulled them out with much ease. They offered us some money but of course I kindly declined and just said it was a good deed for a neighbor. Then we got confronted by a truck without 4wheel drive and this road was a one lane road. Luckily he was able to back up to a point where we could squeeze by. It was close and had we not turned our side view mirrors in we definitely would have hit.

One of the hay farms we pass on our way to Grandma and Grandpa's house...beautiful! I wish that was my land:-)
