We have finally dug out from the Blizzard of 2017!!!
It is official!! It was the highest recorded amount of snow fall in one day ever in our area, even topping the Blizzard of 1993, which had it's 24th anniversary on March 13th, the day before the Blizzard of 2017!!!
Before I share my Blizzard photos, I want to Thank these Hosts for featuring my post, St. Patrick's Day China Cupboard, Part 1!!

Please stop by and link up to these great parties!!
In my previous post, I shared photos of the storm that buried us with 22 - 25 inches of snow!!!
Today, I am sharing how we dug out, what my house and development looked like and what it now looks like!
There are still cities and towns around NEPA that have not had their streets plowed because of the monumental task of removing this much snow....
We were finally plowed out yesterday, Thursday, 2 days after the storm......
I hope those of you who never get snow or are having warm weather now, enjoy these photos!!!
Yes, here I am braving the blowing snow, trying to widen the path shoveled on our steps.......
Now our parking lot was a different story!!!
The sun came out and the temps. actually got up to 30!!!!
The private plower that our Homeowner's Association pays to plow our Courts out , opened up the one side at 10:30 pm the night before............
These photos were taken from my bedroom window.......
You can see that our side needs to be done........
Looking up at our Court.......
What a difference a day makes with sunshine!!
With all the snow melting, this is what we now have.......
Dripping down and icing up everything underneath......
And guess what???????
We are supposed to get more snow on Saturday!!!!!!!
During all of this, I have been trying to decorate for Easter!!!
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

That's a lot of snow! We got just a little here in the south. Those slippery stairs would scare me. lol
ReplyDeleteStay warm!
Chippy White Cottage Blessings,
Rebecca
Wow. So glad you're out from under, and hope today doesn't cover you again!
ReplyDeleterachel
I haven't seen that much snow in years and really don't miss it... much. I love when we get it but hate if it sticks to the roads because people here in the South don't now how to drive in it! Love your pictures!
ReplyDeleteWe were to get hit Monday. Not much at all which did not hurt my feeling at all. What we did get came down fast and furious. Several accidents from the ice that formed under it first. WE still had several in our area that did not have power back yet from all the wind the week before. Many were without for 6 days. WE had our lights flicker but lucked out and did not loose power permanent. After buying the whole house generator told George we will most likely not looses power any more.
ReplyDeleteThe snow is so pretty but at this time of the year you would rather have spring I am sure. I hope you did not have too much driving you had to do in that snowfall.
Crazy how quickly it disappears from the Sun's heat. Hope that you and Joe took it easy with that shoveling!
ReplyDeleteI am gonna stop asking for snow, cause everyone else is getting it except us, except I want no where near what you got, Heavens! Would never know you had a retaining wall if you hadn't mentioned it with all that snow. What is going on with the weather?
ReplyDeleteEaster? Looks like we should be putting the winter decorations back up. Wow, - some hard work the two of you did with all that shoveling. Take care
betsy
oh Debbie - that's a lot of snow. Please be careful out there!!
ReplyDeleteKay,
DeleteI could not get in touch with you any other way so I am responding here. Thanks so much for visiting!! Yes, it was a record breaking snow storm but it has just about all melted except for all the piles left by shoveling and plowing......That is the one good thing about a snow storm in March..Have a great weekend!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Ohhh.... There's a lot of snow!!! Take care of yourself. Thank you very much for being always so deary with me with your visits and kind comments
ReplyDeleteHugs Alessandra
Well thanks for adding that touch of Easter. I was going to say you needed to a wish for Spring and link anyway. Wow that was some snow. Did I get it correct that it melted the following day? I didn't realize you had so many steps to the door. For some reason I though you were at street level. Theses were really pretty pictures.
ReplyDeleteSnow is so pretty from a distance. I hope you didn't get so much last night!
I came over to tell you the new linky is up for The Fabulous Party.
Here's the new linky

If you can dig out come over and link. And pack away that Let It Snow wreath!
Enjoy your week. Happy Spring.
We'll be getting snow back this week too! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteOh my isn't it crazy to beat records so close to spring, it looks like you two kept busy cleaning up all that snow. Those icicles always amaze me how big they get. And to have more snow on top of it, I will have to say I don't envy that at all, hope it clears up for good!
ReplyDeleteWow, so much snow! I'm glad spring is here. :)
ReplyDeleteMy word, that is a LOT of snow. We don't get any so this is very exotic to me but I can see that it is also a lot of hard work. Hope you're keeping warm!
ReplyDeleteAmalia
xo
Oh wow, I just can't imagine having this much snow. Such a beautiful sunny day too. It looks like Christmas :):)
ReplyDeleteYikes! I've never seen so much snow. We managed to get through winter here in my part of Georgia with a very mild winter. It got cold here last week (however I'm sure our version of cold and yours are very different) but it was fine with me because I was on a cruise! I hope you stay thawed out and keep warm!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Debbie, that is unreal! We had a lot of snow this winter; but never that much and spring has arrived. Hope you get some warm weather soon! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Debbie
ReplyDeleteNow that was a lot of snow for sure. I enjoyed seeing all your pictures of the snow. I would liked to have been out there helping you in that 80lb winter coat LOL you looked wonderful
Debbie, I'm still in awe of that snowfall! Just shared your pictures with my 15 year old. I don't think he has ever seen this much snow in his life. He's pretty jealous . . but would probably get over it real quick if he had to shovel the walk and clear the cars. Take care and be safe. ~Laurie
ReplyDeleteWow, you guys got nailed! I am glad to hear you took it in stride tho and tat you didn't lose power. You guys be careful with all that shoveling, tho. Your back isn't going to like you, if you overdo it. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteOh my word, staying in South Africa I've never ever seen snow except on TV. I cannot imagine what it must be like to have to dig through soooo much Debbie. Wow, I don't know if I'm in awe or shocked. Does it happen often? WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteBrrr! So. Much. Snow! Did I mention it was 80 degrees here today? I'm sure I'll be wishing to trade temperatures with you around June ;) Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a lot of snow. Glad you are dug out. Hopefully, that will be the last of the big snow storms.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at Thursday Favorite Things. Hope you come back next week so I can stop by again.
Hugs,
Bev
