Drifting Snow

After the big snow stopped falling on Thursday, leaving us with 20 inches of fluffy white stuff, the winds kicked up.

I tried to take a picture of the snow dancing like a crazy nymph at a bacchanalia, but could not.

This is a drift in the front yard.

My little gnome was completely buried, but after the winds came, his head popped out.

Another drift in the yard.

The wind whirls in a circle in this area by the front door, creating a kind of whirlpool effect in the snow.

Note that the wind went all the way to the ground to pick up snow.

These drifts in the driveway were about three-feet high.

My husband brought the tractor with the blade back to clear the road again.
