I must say my Christmas was a little less than Merry. Bahhumbug and all of that. South Dakota (and much of the midwest) was hit by a monster blizzard that left me stranded away from my family. At first I thought it would be kind of fun. Ooh! Snowed in! PJs for days! Then it just got booooooring. Mental note: Being snowed in = fun. Being snowed in alone = makes you want to slit your wrists just a lil. (kidding. kind of.)
Once Saturday hit, I realized I hadn't left my tiny apartment in over 48 hours, and decided to trek outside to attempt to clean off my car, and play photog. Since it had been so long since I had driven my car, I had forgotten where I had parked. I proceeded to spend at least 5 minutes cleaning off another red car before thinking, "wait a second... when did I get a spoiler?" Here's my car POST cleaning off. I actually had to call in reinforcements on Sunday to help me scoop her out. Poor thing.
I live right by a really pretty park, so I wanted to take some pictures of the pretty Christmas trees all covered in snow. Please enjoy.
Trying to capture how deep the snow is. Only knee high here. No biggie.
But this, my friends is mid-thigh. Slightly impressive.
All bundled up!
Deeeeeeep foot prints.
I love me some snow covered trees. So purty.
This one may end up in my living room decorated next Xmas. :p
In total, we ended up with 18.5" of snow, but some drifts were easily 4-6' tall. At my parents house my mom took a picture of my dad (who's 6'3") standing in front of a drift 2 1/2 times taller than him. Impressivo!
Also thanks for posting about your lovely holidays. I totally lived vicariously through all of you.
