Snowpocalypse Now

It kept snowing until late last night. When I went upstairs around 11, it was still snowing, but definitely tapering off. But we are most definitely socked in with over 20 inches of snow. No plow has been anywhere near our street, of course. All activities for today and tonight are cancelled, but still no word on school tomorrow. I'm not hopeful, clearly.

Our neighbor's car is completely buried:

You can see here that people have driven down the street, leaving deep furrows.

I need to bake and knit. Probably won't get around to doing either. Mr. T and the boys are doing a great job of digging us out so we can move when necessary.
