This is poor Pinky in the back yard.....
It started Monday night, with sleet/freezing rain and thunder! Loud, loud thunder! It's pretty weird when it thunders ~SO~ loud and it's sleeting/snowing/freezing rain. Then came the wind, very high wind, and snow. Landfill amounts of snow. Apparently, we managed to set a record with the most snowfall ever in the Tulsa area. We got a whopping 13.2 inches of snow! The thing about this snowfall, was the wind and the drifts it created. The wind measured from 15-30 mph. My patio furniture chairs are completely "under snow" instead of "under water".....it's crazy. I got out and shoveled the driveway for about an hour and only made a dent. It's going to be baby steps getting out of here because the snow is SO deep.
This is what I saw when I opened the door to my back yard from the garage.

The view when I opened the garage door. That's the driveway......

This is how Jessie feels about the snow. She just buried her head.
If you have to get out, please be safe. The news stations are still discouraging travel. Be careful and have fun in Snowmageddon 2011 !
Until next time, Peace out!
Angie
