I’m afraid I will not be posting too much about my garden these next few months. Especially considering my garden is now under about 4 feet of snow! The forecast for tomorrow finally says we are to get a break from the snow but then it is suppose to return by Christmas day. So, it is looking like we may have a white Christmas for sure! We are hoping it does let up tomorrow as my husband has been trying to get home since Sunday. He is currently stuck about 30 miles away from home due to road closures. All fingers are crossed that they open the highways up tomorrow so he can get home in time for Christmas.
It has been quite a week for us! Hope everyone else is safe and cozy and ready for the holidays. I think this may be my last post until next week. I will end this post with some pictures I took today of the snow.
Below is my daughter all bundled up and ready to help shovel snow so we can find our car.
This is a picture of my son and daughter. Behind them is my neighbor’s boat which is almost entirely under a huge snow drift.
This final picture was taken hours later after we were finally able to unearth (or is it unsnow?) our car and driveway. Two kind souls with tractors were out driving up and down the road helping everyone clear their driveways. (Thank you Kevin! 
)
Happy Holidays everyone!

Wow, that’s a lot of snow for just a few days worth. Maybe someone who’s dreaming of a white Christmas might buy some from you on ebay? LOL. Here’s hoping your family can be together on Christmas!
That is really a lot of snow Cynthia! Digging out is right, I’m sure the kids loved it though. You will have a white Christmas which is nice, mine will be green again.
Just doesn’t feel like Christmas with no white stuff. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. And I’m sure the garden is loving it’s nice warm winter mulch.
We have been slammed here on the other coast too. In three days it dumped just over 24″ on our house. The surrounding area didn’t get it quite as bad (maybe 16″) but since we live near the top of a large hill our weather is sometimes different. Usually that means more snow. We got enough that we decided to shovel the roof and do you know where most of the roof snow ends up? The garden. The herb garden is now under tons of snow.
Cynthia, that is just amazing for you all to get snow like that. It’s just too much for an area not used to heavy snowfall. It would be unnerving here in Oklahoma too.
I hope your hubby makes it home for Christmas. Be safe and know your blogging friends are all thinking of you.~~Dee
Cynthia, I hope your husband makes it home for Christmas! I envy you over the snow (only a tiny bit, though). I haven’t had a white Christmas in about 12-15 years! Our neighbor’s house is all decorated with dancing plastic snowmen, and it just looks wrong here in the desert.
Oh, I hope your husband can get home to spend Xmas with you and the kids! I don’t have anything left in my garden either, and I’m in East Texas. We’re having unseasonably cold weather. But no snow! Happy Holidays to you!

Wow, that is a lot of snow! I hope your husband is able to make it home!
I hope you are enjoying all this as much as I am! It is just too much fun to sled, build snowmen, and have snowball fights. I figure we so seldom get this much we might as well enjoy it.
I hope your hubby gets home soon, I heard they opened I-84 this morning, hope that helped him!
Keep bundled up and have fun!!! Kim
WOW! Seattle was paralyzed with under a foot, I can only imagine what 5 would have done?!? Craziness! Hope your family was reunited in time to celebrate today together. Your kids look adorable all bundled up to fight back against the huge drifts! My daughter had a blast but did get very wet and cold after short spates helping dad shovel the snow away from the foundation. She liked sledding in the back alley much better.
The snow is beautiful but I cannot imagine having that much snow. Our weather has been a rollercoaster — 19 degrees and 70 in the same week. Insane! I hope your husband made it home in time for Christmas.
