Our first big snow day this winter


Yup, it's here. Our first big snow. Technically we got about 4.5 inches, which some would say isn't crazy, but with the cold and snow, it's pretty miserable. Plus, it's enough to mess up the roads until the plows have time to clean them up, and with the wind, it's taking a while. I always feel a little sorry for the city, because people are so hard on them. It just simply takes time, and the wind and snow have to stop some before the roads can really be clear. Just as an illustration of the wind, check this out. When we went to bed, last night, we had a nice blanket of snow. This morning, crazy drifting. Areas of our yard with grass, and areas with deep snow. Weird.

I love this. Our crab sandbox. Huge snow on top of it, but his eyes are still bugging out, like he can still see and watch everything going on. Kind of funny.


Abby had a 2 hour delay this morning for school, so we had a relaxed morning. Matt made pineapple pancakes, a family favorite. Lily and I decided to stay in the rest of the morning because it it FREEZING! I walked Abby to the bus stop and it was cold. Because of the snow, there wasn't really cleaned off sidewalk to stand on, we stood in the street as close the corner as we could get. Kind of gives you a new perspective on shoveling your sidewalk! I'm also thinking a need a pair of Ugg boots for all this snow, don't you think? Now, who wants to talk to Matt and convince him that he needs to make a line item in the budget for that? :)

Stay warm everyone!
