the banks eventually, but I expect it to take a while.<\/p>\n<p>The school across the street always heaps the snow into a big pile in the yard next to the main building.\u00a0 It&#8217;s REALLY big

other places much less.\u00a0 I&#8217;m glad the sun is out today because it&#8217;s clearing off the roads and sidewalks.\u00a0 When I shoveled off the patio I started to make a big pile (like when Mom made a snow fort for Chloe last Christmas) and then I let Dende out to play in the snow.\u00a0 It was hilarious&#8211;he actually got stuck.\u00a0 It was just too deep!\u00a0 His little legs were flailing away but his body wasn&#8217;t going anywhere.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Luckily, because of the wind, the side of the yard nearest to the sidewalk has much less snow and he&#8217;s able to
