Snow plows and snow piles

We got about ten inches so far in this "monster" storm we were supposed to have.  Schools were closed and Rob only had to work half a day.  After he came home we decided to shovel part of the deck and driveway so we could walk easier.  While we were out there the snow plow came thru.  Now instead of having to clean up part of our driveway to get to the cars we had to go shovel the whole front of our driveway.  Just to give you an idea of what we were dealing with our driveway entrance is about 25 to 30 feet across.  When the snow plow came thru he dumped about 3 ft of snow in our driveway all the way across it.  So there were four of us out there with snow shovels trying to move all the snow so we could get out of our driveway.  This is what we were left with:
You can't really see it but this pile is close to five feet tall at it's highest point


It's also over 5 ft wide by about 10 ft long


Pretty dirty looking isn't it?


Here's another little pile we had


This is the pile on the other side of our driveway.  It's not as big as the first one but it sure seemed like as much work


Same pile, different view


As is this one.  If you look close you can see the mailbox just showing over the top of the snow on the left


Here are the big strong men coming back in after working those piles.  I helped too.  I just stopped a couple minutes early so I could get some pictures.
