Blizzard in Historic Winchester

We were lucky enough to be in Winchester for the Blizzard of 2016. We had over 3 feet of snow from Friday to Saturday night!  This town is beautiful year round, but it took on a whole new beauty when blanketed in snow and icicles.  And sledding with our next door neighbors and their friends made us feel like kids again (until I broke the sled…then I felt like a fat old guy)!

Our house after some of the snow melted

The angle of this picture makes it hard to see how crooked the walls really are.

Randy felt bad for the birds so he bought 75 pounds of bird seed and left it for them at Handley High!

Wouldn't this make a great house for a scary movie?

Next door neighbors. You always want to live next door to the more expensive houses.

Those are not spears, they are icicles. We must need insulation.

One day, I want this house to be mine...I can't stop walking by it and staring at it.

Makeshift ski slope. It was crazy fast.

The alley way behind the garage. Impassable.

Beautiful house across the street.

The people across the street decided they would leave a car on the street. Not a good idea...

When you are trapped and have to figure out a way to get snow off the roof, you get a little creative...
