So it seems we had a lot of snow here on Wednesday.
A lot of snow.
The view from our back porch.
So beautiful.
Don't think I'll be able to get into my potting shed any time soon...
We had close to 2 feet fall on Wednesday.
The power was out for about 4 hours.
NOT FUN.
There was so much snow that the guy who plows our driveway actually
got stuck in the snow in our driveway.
Michael on his way to help Joe, the plow guy...
There's the plow truck, stuck in our driveway.
He actually needed someone to come and tow him out.
School was cancelled Wednesday and Thursday due to the snow.
The wind blew so hard during the night.
Thankfully all was well and nothing blew off the house.
The sun came out on Thursday.
The plow guy returned and finished the job.
Everywhere you looked it was so beautiful.
So bright.
So white.
Reminds me of the following verse:
"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."
Isaiah 1:18
Isn't it amazing to know that no matter what we've done,
no matter what sin we've committed,
the Lord sees us as white as the freshly fallen snow...
As long as we're first covered in the cleansing blood of the Lamb.
Enjoy your day!

Just popped over from truthful tidbits...
There is something about snow flying that seems to make everything ok.
Loretta says
Amen Lois. All praise and glory to the Lamb!
What beautiful pictures! Even though that much snow can be difficult to deal with it is such a beautiful change from the ordinary. I don't think I could live where there wasn't snow in the winter! I'm sure the kids enjoyed having a few days off from school too! Hugs, Loretta

What a blessing of a post. If I said I was jealous of your snow, would you think I was crazy? I miss seasons and snow.

Linda says
We haven't had snow like that in a long time.
(I hesitate to say that..cuz it might just happen!)
It makes for some pretty pictures though...and I loved your verses about our scarlet sins being made whiter than snow.
But it can get confining...and I bet you are looking forward to Spring so you can soon be "Walking on Sunshine" again!

What a wonderful way to view the besutiful snow, Lois...I really like that. Just goes to show how much we should always look around God's creation for reminders of His awesome goodness.
Hope you were able to stay warm with the power out!! It's so funny because I will still find myself trying to turn on a light switch when the power goes out!
blessings and hugs,
marcy
