Our city of Apple Valley, Minnesota got 14” of snow in a storm on Monday.  The snow was the most since a storm in 2010, which brought down the roof of the old Metrodome.

This was also the most snow we’ve had in a single day since moving into our home in 2013.  The night the storm hit, I took Winnie for a walk in it.  She loved the snow!

Storms like this also validate owning such a big pickup truck.  There were 6 vehicles abandoned in our development, stuck in place because plows don’t get to us until the day after big snowstorms.

I spent the day Tuesday morning helping neighbors clear snow from their driveways.  Some had just finished shoveling, when the plow finally came around, leaving a 2 foot pile at the end of their driveway.  My neighbor snapped this picture of me doing something I love, using my snowblower!
