How Much Snow?

These pictures were taken around Christmas - the pics of Lucy in the garden (yes that's the garden) were taken on Christmas Day. We had a ton of snow for these parts - some of our friends that have grown up here mentioned it was the most snow they'd seen in their lives, others said the snows from 1964 were higher. We've been here since 1999, and it was certainly the most snow we've had here at the house.

What happens when the snow melts?  Well - that's the subject of the last few pics.
