Let it snow, let it snow, QUIT snowing already!!!

Well, this winter has made up for last winter in spades!!!  So far, we have had 100 inches of snow and it is still coming down.  As an added bonus, the temperature right now is -13 degrees.  Yeah!!!
 This was the street on my drive to work on Tuesday.  Note the mound of snow in the middle of the street.  At many points, it was taller than the car.
 This was a picture I took on Wednesday of the front walk.  Bruce had plowed and shoveled that morning before he went to work, and this is what it was like when I came home at 1:00.  Notice the depth of the snow plowed up.
 This was taken a few minutes ago of the same location.  Notice the depth of the snow now.  This was just a three day difference in snow levels.
 This is the back deck taken on Wednesday.  The depth of the snow is deceptive considering we have had two thaws this month and this snow level is just the latest.
This is another view of the front yard.

Winter usually doesn't bother me very much.  I have chosen to live in Montana and know that winter and snow is a part of that choice, but this winter has been a test of my reserve.  I don't actually mind the snow, and I don't even mind the cold.  What I hate is trying to drive in this mess.  I keep trying to convince Bruce that I need a 4 wheel drive vehicle, but to no avail.  Oh well, Spring will be here eventually...maybe July???
