More (than enough) snow!

This is what I saw from my living room window this morning at "sunrise." The snow began last night around 11 p.m. and continued for about 12 hours.

My Ford Escape is in the lower left hand corner of this picture. It's sandwiched between two big cars. It's the one that is covered with snow (ha ha).

I'm not sure how much snow we got. The wind tends to blow through our parking lot. But this picture above shows the amount of snow on my windshield ("snow vision"). Weather service was predicting 18-24 inches and that sounds close to what we probably got.

Here is a view from my car (while I was shoveling it out) of the lot being plowed. Many of my neighbors were out trying to dig out their cars. It was nice to see them. Most were trying to help others too. One neighbor dug out the drift behind my car while I cleared off the snow from the car. After I backed out and moved the car, the plow was able to clear the snow from my spot. We used that approach for several cars. Very slippery though. One lady fell and it took two of us to help her up.

This is a view of our parking lot taken from my living room window around lunch time. You can see that my Escape is now at the right side of the picture and my previous spot is cleared open. It has stopped snowing now and the sun is peeking through the clouds as I am writing. Another storm is forecast for end of the week (oh no).
