Snowy Winter

We have a lot of snow. There is probably 2 feet of snow on the ground in Rexburg right now. It's been snowing and blowing and doing what it normally does in the Upper Snake River Valley in the winter I guess. I took a drive out around the farm fields SE of town this evening after work. I wanted to see how big the drifts were. I wasn't disappointed. In places the road seemed like a narrow canyon between tall walls of snow. The drifts were as high as twelve feet in places. I didn't dare stop in these places to photograph because the road was narrow and the visibility wasn't great. I may have to get out in better conditions to photograph it though, because it is quite impressive. Here are a few snowy scenes from the excursion.

It is just too cold! But you seem to be making the most of it. I am ready for spring! Here's an idea...You, Theo, Andy and Me...City of Rocks...I'll bring my bus. Think about it. OK we should have another car too, just in case.
