In past 3 months, Ripley may have experienced more snow than some people ever experience (hmm..Texas family??). And this is in Maryland!
Yesterday on the way home from school, we stopped to play outside for a few minutes. I built a snow person and Ripley was fascinated. I thought some "before" pictures would give good context for the "after" blizzard photos.
This February storm is the second HUGE snow of the year - the other one being right before Christmas that closed school for 3 days. We've had other snows this year too, but this one truly is going to go down in the record books as being the highest accumulation. I predict no school all week.
The snow stuck against the door on the upstairs deck and Ripley ready in her sized 6-9 mo. snow suit (borrowed/stolen from the Martins).
Ripley standing on our observation platform, aka the lid to a plastic storage bin (note: the snow completely covering the step) and a family photo (note: my car in the background).
Snow surfing and sunken in the snow.
As I sit and type this, the snow is still falling. The walk that Chad shoveled earlier is almost completely covered again. Aunt Nona has joined us from down the block. It's times like this that we miss having Culann and Carolyn and Shannon across the street. We did see our neighbors Matt, Cristen and Caden out earlier. They had a sled that we tried, but the snow was too deep. We'll have to try again soon.
More photos when the storm is over...

The picture where Chad opened the door and the snow just stayed is crazy!! That's a lot of snow. Also the one where Ripley is almost covered up to her neck gives me a fantastic visual. I would have no idea what to do with that much snow. You guys stay safe.
So glad you posted these, I now have a crazy smile plastered on my face. Oh, little snow person. I had so much fun with all of you during the storm in December. Getting snowed in with an avid cook and baker (and good friend) is a delight in my book!
Ripley is going to think that Baltimore always gets lots of snow! I'm sure she'd feel right at home in Minnesota. Enjoy your snow day or week or whatever the Storm o' the Century brings. :-) Love the photos!
