Official snow count 17 inches in Columbia. My garage is waaaaaay back there, about 100 yards. Gary and I walk it so the guys who plow know where to go. I wasn't sure I could make it back! MU was off for 3 days, historic!

My Husband is 6 feet 3 inches tall and he's standing in our driveway behind a 4.5 foot drift. All the snow was blowing from our backyard, over the house and into the driveway. Not fun! Our backyard in Walworth WI had 2 feet of snow.

5:20 pm our dog Ozzy on our patio. MU cancels classes again for Wed. Another snow day for me!

Big snow of 2/1/2011

It started snowing at 6:30am in Columbia. We are up to about 5-6 inches at 11:30. It has drifted quite a bit from the winds. This shot was taken with me sitting on the floor looking out the front door.

From Cousin Carol Newton:

I just wanted you to know that our mom passed away yesterday. She went peacefully. We have yet to put an obituary in the paper--will take care of that soon. We meet with the funeral home tomorrow. She is being cremated. The plan so far is to have her interment in the spring and perhaps a memorial service then too. Although we have expected this for some time, it is still a shock when it finally happens. It really has been a bad winter for deaths. My mom's cousin Frank passed just last week leaving mom's sister Gloria as the only member left of their family. Please keep us in your prayers.

Love, Carol
