Dreamin' of a White Christmas? No Problem Man!

I just did round one of snowblowing the driveway (and we only have a small electric one, thankfully it's not heavy)--but there were areas when I was just pushing the drifts around. So, did you know that when they say 8-12 inches of snowfall, that doesn't account for the TWO foot drifts---it's really hard to give you a true reference of what we're dealing with on a flat image, but enjoy the scenery. By the way, we still have a few hours to go. So, what are the chances that we have our concert tonight:) (oh well, more chocolate cheesecake bars for us----goes really well with the Weight Watchers program:)
