It's Baaaacckk!!

The snow is back in full force! The way the wind blows brought us 3 feet of snow in our driveway this morning. Shane tried to shovel out as much he could, but then I had to get in the car and he had to push (we still don't have a snow blower or tractor/plow)!

Anyone want to play hookie today and go sledding, make some snowmen, make some snow angels, go skiing, have a snowball fight, build an igloo, go snowshoeing, and go snowmobiling!? Followed up with some hot chocolate in front of the fire, of course!

Snow, Snow, Snow!

Hey remember when we got all that snow??! No?! Let me remind you . . .
Our snow ranged from like 2 feet to like 5 feet in some places because of the drifts! It was crazy! We were trying to make a path to get firewood to our house!
Oh that was the night that our power went out too (country living = no water for potty or showers too)! We came home at 5:45pm with no power and it was still out at 10:15pm, so with it being 50 degrees in our house, we headed off to mommy and daddy's!

Welcome to Erie . . AKA . . . Winter.

Well. My first official day of snow came today! . . . For this year . . . . although I feel like it's been FOREVER since I've actually seen snow or had snow. But it was both exciting and freeeezing! Today we tied our record temp with a low of 33 degrees! I really expected it to be lower than that, but I can't argue with Tom Atkins (I had him as a meteorology teacher in college . . . . hmm . . .I thought it had to be less than 32 degrees for it to snow?! Yikes . . . maybe I shouldn't say I had him as a teacher so I don't embarass him!!)!

Behren playing in the snow this morning . . . just racing back and forth! He loves it! Definitely his father's son!


You saw how far I have to walk at work . . . well imagine THAT in this weather (although it was definitely sleeting like crazy and windy as heck when I was walking in). . . and not to mention . . my zipper broke on my boots, so I had it safety pinned together . . . yeah . . . safety pins don't keep out 3 -4 inches of slush and rain puddled in the middle of the parking lot . . . so needless to say my sock and foot were completely soaked and freezing cold.

Thank goodness we have off tomorrow so I can find some boots that are made for Erie weather. But still . . . I'm not complaining . . . I just love being home.
