it is quite the awesome scene... the snow blows across the lawn and streets and builds up to two meters sometimes. There are a lot of white outs where you cannot see a few feet ahead of you and it can be quite frightening. But, when we are tucked into a warm house it is fun to watch... the next day we go to work shovelling this snow out of the way so we can drive. Snow is fun for a few months but by mid March you start to long for Spring. Snowstorms are built for watching with hot tea and hot cuddly sex sometimes. we do have to worry about power going out
