More snow, really?

This post is more for my non-local friends and family...  You local peeps know all this.  :)

So far, this has been the winter of a lot of snow.  Every winter here is a little different.  We get snow every year, but some years we get more ice, some years we get an inch at a time.  This year we just keep getting it and getting it.

It's pretty at first.  I grew up with it, so I get some of it, and the city knows how to clear the roads.  It doesn't slow us down very long before the roads are clear.  However.  That doesn't mean I love it.  It is cold. It is messy.  And it is a pain in the butt to clear your driveway over and over and over again.  A snowblower is on our list for our new house.  Our driveway is much wider that our old one and it feels huge when you are shoveling.  I think it's time for us to invest.  :)

As I type, we are expecting 8-10 inches today.  Tomorrow temperatures are supposed to drop to ten to twenty degrees below zero.  BELOW.  -and with wind chill factored in it will feel like 25-46 below.  Not fun.

All the kids are supposed to go back to school from winter break tomorrow and everyone is talking cancellations.  No one has cancelled yet, but we are all anticipating...

The girls did get to play outside on Friday when we had some fresh snow.  After they'd been out for a little bit, the neighbor girls came out and they played even more.  They had soooo much fun.
