I took a walk with Lou and Rudy, but about half way down the block, Rudy decided he didn't want to go with us, so he headed back to Paul.
The sites in the neighborhood included many trees with piles of snow on them.
Our cars all buried (there are 3 because we have my dad's car while he is away).
I was fascinated with these markings in the snow and finally figured out that they were from ice that fell off of the power lines.
I was talking to Rudy about making a snow angel and he told me he wanted to make a head print. he then leaned over and put the top of his head in the snow. It's a good thing he was wearing a hat!
After Paul did some shoveling, and Rudy and I had gone in, Paul took a walk down to the bay.
The telephone poles looked so cool with thick snow on just one side. It's amazing that it didn't just slide off the pole.
In the afternoon, we went out again, this time to play in the backyard.
Paul and I made snowmen that Rudy named. Here are Slidey (at the top) and Downy.
Rudy has been in Superhero mode lately. While outside he kept saying to Paul (in his 'bad guy' voice) "Let's get the girl!" and then he'd throw snow at me. So the battle of the sexes begins in my house and I am outnumbered as usual!
This is Paul's snowman that Rudy named Lumpy. I have a post I've been planning about how Rudy names things that I will have to do this week because these snowmen fit right into it!
Usually we can't see this part of the fence because of the bushes that are here. You can see they are weighted down about 3 feet by snow.
Icicles hanging from a tree.
After playing in the back we took a walk. Continuing the Superhero theme, Rudy made sure he had snow in his hand at all times so it could be his shield.
I took this picture because it was a great perspective of how deep the snow was. Obviously the snow on the right is affected by the snow plowed from the street but the snow on the left is affected by the snow blown off the sidewalk. It reached almost to my knees on either side.
