Another big snow

I looked out the window and my heart began to sing:
It snowed last night, it snowed last night, the sky bears had a pillow fight, the sky bears had a pillow fight it snowed last night. That was yesterday morning.
Then I looked out my window that afternoon and there was this snowplow that had slid off the road into our borrow pit. It was still snowing pretty good, but I decided to go out in the snow and try and take a picture.

This truck was stuck pretty good. Two loaders fitted with plow blades came by and stopped to pull him out. They tried to pull him out by going to the front but the truck just went in deeper. Then the two loaders tried from the back and one of the loaders started into the borrow pit also. One loader pulled the other loader out and then they started throwing sand on the road from out of the truck. That gave the two loaders enough traction that the truck was pulled out.

I'm not very prepared for this kind of weather. No boots, just socks and tennis shoes. That is the reason why I didn't go out again and take pictures of the truck being pulled out. Baxter and I watched from my window. The snow on my shoes is still out in our SUN ROOM. It is to cold for the snow to melt. BURRRR
You can see there is a lot of snow on our car and this was about 2 in the afternoon and it didn't stop snowing until after dark. Grandpa Sid shoveled our steps three times yesterday and they still have about 2 inches on them this morning.
Just a shot of across the road at our neighbors yard.
