Measuring the snow beats!

Well, in response to Noelle who is in a very snowy Portland, here are some photos of snow in Athena. Well, more photos. I decided to use the ones with the ruler!

December 17, 2008 and the level really didn't move too much for a bit. We had the wind and the drifting, so some snow did get 'pushed' off the railing. I took the ruler down when it was windy and put it back later.
Steve was able to break off ice from the roof and shoveled some snow on Saturday, but it was a gentle day. Cold, but not real snowy. Sunday morning, however, we had more snow. Jon and I walked to church. Steve drove so he could get his parents.

The second photo is looking up third street. Our house in on the left and we are standing next to the old vacant lot where the old school was. It is no longer vacant and has scads of houses on it.
ACC and the parsonage. We are not sure why the icicles are gicky brown!!! Jon said it looked like the church had bad teeth!!!
Then, this morning we got up after watching White Christmas last night and seeing more snow fall, to this! Can you find the ruler??????
Even Teddy, who usually likes snow, was quick to get back inside after visiting one of his favorite bushes.

Not reading much, doing a few holiday things and trying to get Tony home. He is in Washington!!!
