Lizard Lick, North Carolina with 20 inches of snow

 
Here is the front of the house about 2 inches before the end of the storm.  The night before, it had rained quite hard.  Wind was gusting to 21 mph out of the north west.  At 10:00 PM, the temperature was 32.9 degrees.  By 11:00 PM, it had droped to 30.7 degrees.  I layed in bed and listed to the sound of rain hitting the side of the house.  A moment later, the sound was pellets.  And then it went silent.  I should have worried more with the silence.

Granted, there is a depression at this point, but as you can see, it was rather deep.
I cleared a narrow path on the front walk.  This is the pile that resulted.
Here are two pictures of the Statue of Liberty at the very same location. She just barly kept that torch out of the snow.
If you familiar with my largescale train in the yard, here is a picture of the half circle trestle.  Yes, there is a bridge under there. Again, Miriam is pointing at a bridge on the train layout.
