A True South Dakota Winter Wonderland!
This snowstorm shut down Timber Lake, roads & highways. All Christmas Services at Churches were cancelled as were plans for many! A True White Christmas!!
The evening of Dec. 25th...the snow was piling up outside of my parent's Sun Room.
Morning of Saturday December 26th began the "Big Dig-Out!" Roads were still closed but the clean up began!
The Drift outside the SunRoom was way taller than the kids...almost 5 feet in spots!
A burried house and Garage...
Hmm...wonder where we should start!?!
Matt dug a path to the Sun Room windows because we were affraid the weight of the drifts would break the widows.
Matt digging out the sunroom.
Dad snowblowing his way to the massive Garage drift.SERIOUSLY? DOES MATT GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT A MT. DEW!?!
Hard working boys!!
(Dad & Matt)
Then Jake Kraft showed up with more "Horse Power!" This Rig is massive and dig out the garage in 3 or scoops!
Almost cleared for opening!!
Opened after 3 days of being Snowed in!Brushing each other off...Clint (brother-in-law) brushing Matt off!
This picture and the one below made it on the KSFY 10:00 news out of Sioux Falls, SD. We emailed them in!
Above: My Dad is snowblowing off the back Patio which is waist deep!!
Below: My mom opening her front door. The drift was chest deep and had the door imprint in it!
Matt digging a snow tunnel for the kids.
Ryder helping with the tunnel. Cousin Haylee and Uncle Clint in the bcakground
Haylee peeking out the tunnel.
Uncle Clint tried to climb through the tunnel...unsuccessfully!
Cousin Lisa Schlosser had the same idea as dad to drive around town and see the drifts! Behind her is the front doors to the school. Thank goodness it was Christmas Vacation already!
Looking down Main Street. The road is cleared down the middle but you can see all the businesses drifted shut! All you could hear in town the entire day on Saturday the 26th...was Tractors, Plows and Snowmobiles! Kinda Spooky!!
