Snow Storm today...

Today was supposed to be a busy Saturday. The kids were supposed to go to their Aunt to bake cookies, go to practice at church for the Christmas play and we wanted to go to the store. All of this is now canceled because the weather is just really bad. It keeps snowing and the wind keeps blowing. We even have drifts on our balcony. I keep taking pictures to show just how much snow is coming down. I just pray that every person will find a warm place to stay. 
Here are now some pictures from last night and this morning....

This is last night, when the snow started

Our "Narnia" lamp, also last night

This was at 8:30 this morning

also this at 8:30 this morning

the pile was this high at 8:30

This was at about 9:30

that is what it looked like at about 10:00

this is also around 10 ~ish

that is the how high it got at about 10:45

It is getting difficult to open the door, the snow just tumbles in

by the way, the date on the pictures is correct. It is a German camera and so displays the date the European way which is date/month/year   :D       I am going to try to post some more pictures during the day. I am afraid though that we soon have to shovel the snow of off the balcony......


We finally had to clear the balcony, which took quite a while. I then went downstairs to clear the car of and start it to let it run for a little while. My poor Gus has to endure a very cold night, according to the forecast...... okay, here are some pictures before we cleared the balcony.

this was at about 14:30 today

I was hoping it wouldn't all tumble into the house...

here is the puppy in front of the window, she really wanted to go into the snow

Isn't this amazing?

unfortunately it was snowing too much to get a clear picture, but it actually looked quite cool

 The balcony was cleared but it is still snowing and blowing outside. It is close to 17:00 now and we already have about 20 cm of snow on the balcony again.....
