There's No Business like "Snow" Business!!

Well we are now both in Nauvoo now, after a lot of driving we made it. The only problem we encountered was when we eventually did get home after a very long drive, it had snowed so hard and iced that we could not pull up our driveway..... Me being from North Carolina, I have never snow shoveled anything... yes, it snows in NC and iced but we never needed to. Jonny said that he had done it a few times, but never while growing up ( being in the desert and all). Since we made it home and we now live right on a highway we had no choice but to break out the old, very used, yellow snow shovel ! Our driveway is very steep so we were slipping and sliding the whole time while we shoveled, taking turns of course.( defiantly gave my back a WORKOUT). 
Now while we were shoveling, it was snowing and also late at night. We were able to shovel enough to be able to get one car half way up the driveway and the other just at the base.... The next morning it was to cold for our Honda Civic to even start. So now that we are here I have shoveled the driveway once by myself and Jonny has done it a handful of times while I follow him with a very HEAVY bag of salt, Teamwork is where its at. In the top picture, that is the beautiful Mississippi river frozen over !!!  That picture was taken at the bottom of our driveway, so yeah I would say we are pretty close :).I would be silly to say, that this will be our only time shoveling our driveway for a while. Since then it has snowed many, many times, looks like by the end of Winter I will have a back of STEAL :) you gotta love all the snow and ice.
