No snow yet this morning it was supposed to start around 11:00 am and sure enough it did. The snow was coming down fast about an inch or 2 each hour and by the time it stopped we had 8 or 9 inches on the ground. The driving conditions were terrible which caused many accidents on the interstates. 74 and 39 were both shut down due to accidents and blizzard conditions. There was a huge pile up on 39. Below are a few pictures posted from people in or near the accidents.
Mark went in to work this morning but was home by 11:30 am and by that time the snow was in full force. He decided to start plowing about 4:30 pm and did a little shoveling first. I went out at the same time to start shoveling the patio and in front of the garage but stopped to take a couple pictures. The snow was so beautiful.
I took a quick video then went back to work shoveling.
Mike got his tractor out and got mom's Joan's and Spark's drive done. Spark and Rhonda are due home tomorrow from Gulf Shores. I think they are going to have a little bit of a shock to their systems facing this weather.
I finished shoveling when it got too dark to see well. I had done the patio first and when I finished the other job came back to find I needed to shovel the patio off again. The picture below was taken with a flash as it was already dark. 
Mark also quit about that time and made it into the house at 6:20 pm. For dinner tonight we had crockpot pot roast, potatoes and carrots. Mark calls that comfort food, I call it easy and that was the best part about the meal.
