Snow

So I do not know where to start. Where does one start when the weather forecast calls for 5-7 feet of snow for the week. This is not a typo Yes I said feet!!!!!

I have lived in the following places:
Missoula, Montana relatively low snowfall, due to the Mountains getting the majority.
Ontonagon, Michigan Here there is a thermometer sign that said 300 inches of snow in one season. They plowed our yard cause by May the snow was back to the driveway. Houses had doors on the second story with no stairs so that scaffolding could be put up so you did not have to shovel. We had U-pper Scoopers
Neenah, Wisconsin only there a year and not much snow
Watertown, New York Lake effect again. Remember one day I put Ally on the bus to kindergarten and by the time the bus turned around when it got to school Ally had a 4 hour bus ride and we had four feet of snow. I had shovelled a foot wide path to the bus, Ally got off and the snow was up to the buses head lights. Robyn had been in front of videos all morning and Jeff was snowed in at the mill. He knew I was not handling two kids and four feet of snow very well and drove a toyota celica with about 4 inches of clearance home at 9 at night to take care of us.
Lufkin, Texas One snow event on New Year's Day and only enough to make a baby snowman. No other snow for nine years.
Pinetop, Arizona more snow than we have ever seen. One year we had no snow all winter and then got 5 feet in one day. Closed the town down for a week.
This one is one for the record books. We have gotten 8 inches today, with 24 inches expected by morning and then they say the "real" storm is coming. Five to seven feet. The Grand Canyon is to get three feet tonight. Phoenix is to get 10 inches of rain, that is more than double the annual levels.
So here we sit, with a warm fire, wood in the bin, batteries for the flashlights and the wish for a snow day. Today we had only a delay and had eight inches. I guess we are getting used to this white stuff. The local economy can use this white stuff as we have one of two ski areas here. The town only has two plows so we have to be patient to get out of our driveway. Our driveway is about a half mile if it was straight, but it is uphill and two switch backs. My back hurts from shovelling just the steps. Jeff was once again my hero.... No wonder I love this man. He was to leave tomorrow for Vancouver, Canada for an important meeting. He knew that I could not get the snowblower to do the driveway with all this weather and would be either stuck at school or stuck at home. He called and cancelled and said that his family and their safety was more important than making this trip. I am so blessed to have such a loving thoughtful husband. He drove Robyn back early to Flagstaff so she was there and would not miss class and made sure her fridge was full as well. Ally is warm and comfortable in her house and now I can say.... Let it snow...... We are all well, we have a warm home, we have food and we are blessed .
P.S. You can come help shovel if you are bored though
