So there was yesterday morning:
And yesterday afternoon:
And do you want to see how it looked first thing this morning? Here you go:
WOW!
It snowed all night and now the snow is so deep here. It's amazing. And it's funny because this one of the biggest snows we've experienced, even after living out east and in the midwest. And it was the least hyped by the media! If this snow had been heading towards anywhere else we lived people would be mobbing the grocery store to get supplies and getting ready to hole up for weeks. Funny stuff.
Kris left this morning in the Land Rover because he had a dental surgery scheduled at the hospital at 7AM. He barely made it out of the driveway. The patient didn't make it to the hospital of course. By the time he got done calling all of our patients for the day and rescheduling them, he came home and all the freeways and highways were being closed.
We'll see if we make it out of here this afternoon--we're supposed to be going to Albuquerque for the NM Bowl. We were going to stay the night and go to the game tomorrow. We'll see!
Here are some more snowy scenes for you.
The french doors in the dining room. Poor Sultan can't make it out to use the facilites:
Our high windows in the living room, all plastered:
Max, enjoying his snow day home from school:
Sultan, bummed because Kris left in the Land Rover without him:
The view from the front door:
And the view out the back door onto our weird patio:
I think these little snow dunes are my favorite.
A fun view from Max's bathroom window:
Days like this make me truly appreciate a warm cozy house and other temporal blessings. It's also nice to be the bosses instead of being bossed around--making the call on whether this should be a snow day or not was nice instead of just being forced to go in whether we wanted to or not!
Happy snow day. Looks like it may still be white by Christmas!

HOOOOOOOLY COW! That is insane! I hope that you get to go to the game and all. How nice that you have a Land Rover... right? The last shot of the tree in your cosy living room is picturesque. Nice work, as always!
This is really a snow to remember----you'll be able to say to Sandy "the year you were born we had such a storm...."
Great photos.
Love to you all

Wow, that's a lot of snow! We had a little flurry on Wednesday, but yet to recieve real snow like you guys. But it does look beautiful and the last picture looks soooo cozy.
That's so crazy! Time to make a snowfort :) Hopefully you can make it safetly to the game, and enjoy all the snow!!
I love it! If it weren't for the game, you could just enjoy it, but now I hope it clears up so you can go! We're counting on you to represent us there . . . :) Wish we were going too.
Aww, your fireside corner looks so cozy! They say we might get some snow this weekend and I really hope we do. We're not traveling until Wednesday so it might be nice to have a little pre-trip snowstorm.
WOW!
I'm amazed. And jealous.
Enjoy your snow day!
Oh my SNOW!!! That is insane! I wish it would snow like that here. Seriously, my kids are done with school and just dying to go play in some serious snow. Come on...SNOW!
Wow!! That's impressive. I love the fresh bright newly fallen snow. Can't wait to here if you made it to the bowl game. :)
Now, why can't we, those who live in the 'greatest snow on earth state' ever have snow like that? I would love that!!
Your home looks so cozy and festive.
Like I said, the house looks so warm and homey - it's the most cozy I've ever seen it. That's a wonderful corner, and the fireplace is beautiful when it's working. We really haven't had snow like that very many times in the last thirty years - even with lake effect. That's what you get for living at the top of a hill in a wide open high desert valley, huh? Glad you got to the game safely. Glad you survived all those roads.
Wow--WOW!! I had NO Idea it snowed like that there! We've only had snow that serious here a few times, and we're supposed to have the best snow EVAR or something. I love the snow dunes. And I think Max has it right--snuggle up with a blanket while you call it a snow day. Looks like Sully's the only one that's bummed.
