To all the Spikey’s (followers) in North America, stay safe n warm…!

Friends, as of this writing, Lancaster, NY is in a state of emergency. We have at least 4 feet of snow on the ground, NOT counting drifts, and it is still coming down. We literally must dig our way out of our house. Yes, I snapped a few images with my iPad from inside of our house for you. I have never seen this much snow, with the exception of the blizzard of ’77.
I hope you can get a good idea of how much snow we have. The good news is, next week temperatures are going back up into the 50’s so this should all be melted.

My husband and I were able to clear a path down the driveway, and two paths leading to our furnace vents that were blocked (we had no heat for a while) and another path to the bird feeders. The birds actually were coming right up to the house and to me asking to be fed. This is an emergency if I ever did see one, and even the birds know it. Thank you for the reblog. (((HUGS))) Amy

I know, same here – not seen snow on the ground here since 1985 I think, and then it was 0.5cm
