Is It Frosty The Snowman? or Is It Jack Frost?

As most of you know I live in Nebraska where we just happened to receive from the heavens above not inches but feet(s) of snow. So what better thing to do than get creative with the tons and tons of white stuff.....

Frosty or Jack, whatever you want to call him, was built during the snow storm of 2009 by one of my son's classmates and his sibling during one of the days when we were ALL snowed in. This is the biggest snowman I have ever seen, he is all of 10 feet tall!!

Here's Jack, the other Jack, my son playing in the brush pile that is full of snow and tunnels....

Jack Frost had everything looking frosty and icy....

Miles is standing by the edge of Highway 57, which is just 2 1/2 miles from our house, check out the size of this snow drift....

Jack went to the top, or more like semi-crawled to the top.....

Miles decided to join him......

Here they are, both at the top. The sheer size of the drifts are almost unbelievable??

This the highway looking back at the tunnel we just drove through.....

This went on for over a mile, the snow is taller than my Expedition for over a mile long on a highway, we even drove on the shoulder part of the way because the entire highway is completely covered and 8 foot deep for 25 feet to the left or the right!!!

Mother nature did make some beautiful designs in the trees....

This was our first pass through the tunnel following the snow plow......

Another shot of the height of the drifts....

Our neighbor's shed roof collapsed from the weight of the snow onto his machinery that was being store in the shed.


This is the make-shift road our neighbors plowed threw their front yard, threw the fence and out into the field so they could get over to the farm place to feed the cattle....

The trees that run south of the house....

This is where the road use to be, over there underneath all that snow and on the other side of the fence, which all you can see now is the top of the posts.....

This is the most snow I can ever remember seeing in my lifetime, it's almost unbelievable, even as you stand right in front of it, looking at it. All I can say is WOW, and we have global warming? I'm thinking Ice Age.....

Stay Warm .... Cammie(:

  2. Wow, we never see anything like that around here. Had a snow storm on Christmas eve, but it's all gone now, and was just enough to make the roads hazardous to inexperienced snow drivers. Thanks for the pretty pics.
