White out...

Here is an example of the amount of snow that arrives in a Blizzard.  In the summer we call this the Shady Swing, but now it would be hard to swing at all. The wind howled all night and the snow drifted.  It was interesting to see how the areas adjacent to the cars looked.  There were places with feet of snow and others that the old snow underneath was bare.   The winds and snow brought back memories of Blizzards Past.  One in particular, where I spent hours, alone, in a car stuck in a snow drift.. I was 8.  That experience makes me prepare for bad conditions, when the weather reports are for bad conditions.
