Deep stuff

It continued snowing all through the night and we woke up this morning to find a beautiful extra thick blanket of the stuff covering our yard. Unbelievably, it is almost up to our knees in most places, while in others it seems even higher - in fact, walking around town last night was a bit of an adventure because we kept accidentally stepping off the footpath and creating deep curbside holes. This afternoon we attempted to dig a pathway out of the garage for our car, but we got bored after five minutes and decided that it was the perfect time to put our snow tyres to the test. Luckily they performed perfectly and we managed to make it into Nyírbátor without sliding around too much. We paid a quick visit to Ili and she confirmed that this is the most snow that she's seen in Hungary for many years. Unfortunately, it's still much too fluffy and light to be any good for snowsculpting, but hopefully it will harden up over the next few days.
