Snow Storm Day 1

Late last night the snow began. It fell very slowly overnight. By 11:30 this morning - more than 12 hours into it, we had maybe an inch of snow. Keep an eye on the lights along the walkway as the snow increases.

What do you do when you are relaxing at home for the second day in a row? Play with the Christmas presents over and over. Paul and Rudy used all the blocks to build this ship.

The view of our backyard by about 12:30 - almost 2 inches at this point.

And the front yard again at 3:00.

By 4:00 this is what the front looked like- we definitely had over 3 inches by now. The win really started blowing and the "blizzard conditions" we were being told abut were definitely occurring.

So what better way to combat a cold snowy day than to have some hot chocolate! We never did make i outside - Rudy never really asked and it was so cold and windy, and Paul wasn't feeling well, that we didn't care if we went out today. Tomorrow we will have a lot of shoveling to do!

Rudy is always such a neat eater!

Our backyard at 4:30. You can see some new dog tracks, but the old ones are all covered over.

The view through our front door at 6:00. The wind had blown so much our storm door is covered with snow.

Notice that the lights along the walkway are completely buried. So we now have at least 6 inches, and it is still snowing.

I think we're only about halfway at our total accumulation and the storm is supposed to go on until 1pm tomorrow so we'll see what our final amount is!
