Has it stopped snowing yet?

What a white Christmas looks like. Those ruts are deeper than the bottom of my car is tall. Driving over them is as exciting as navigating a shallow harbor at low tide. The pile by the mailbox is higher in this picture than it was last January after the big snow. It is even taller now. The street has been plowed again, and at least 8 inches have fallen since that. Our next door neighbor came home with a snowblower yesterday and cleaned up all of what fell in front of our house as well as in front of his.
My car at 10:15 yesterday morning.The same at 2:00 yesterday afternoon. Note that it is impossible to see under the car.Before I shoveled out the new ski instructor's car yesterday afternoon around 2:00. There was no snow piled next to the car when she parked. After. Notice I made her a path through the berm from the plow behind the car. Then the plow came by and made another one.
Following the plow on the way home yesterday. At least the road was clear. This plow is not the one that I was following behind my daughter's car, but it looks just the same. We also followed a pair of deer down the road for about a half mile before they decided to jump back over the bank. They were in front of the lead car, so no pictures, but it was funny.Why we want to come home after skiing.
Two children who want to play with each other now.
Twilight time.

So is it still snowing. It keeps getting icy here at night, but no precipitation, and we melt during the day.
