Kyustendil, Bulgaria

"This is a view of the side of my house after a storm left 68 centimeters (26.7 inches) of snow outside last year. I sent my teenage son to shovel the side of the house because the snow was starting to come into the windows. I went to go check on his progress after 30 minutes and the picture shows what I found."
