Snow, snow, snow...

I had snow day posts last year and I feel like it really wasn't all that long ago! Three snow days this week...some schools are still canceled for tomorrow! Hah...are we in for it?

This is out our guest bedroom window yesterday morning (Wednesday). It had been snowing for about 18 or so hours, on top of a couple inches from the day before.I think our report for the area was just over 10 inches. Pennies, compared to some areas. Notice the tree height compared to the drift. We'll be watching that drift from here on out.


Here's the same window and the same tree and the same drift about 5 hours later.

So after 3 days of looking at snow, I thought it was time to venture out for a short time. So Maren and I took about 10 minutes to get all our clothes on and practice walking in boots.


We spent 3 minutes outside. This was 2 minutes too long for the dog who I had already let back in. Maren sunk in the snow so she wasn't happy. I plopped her in that snow drift out the window anyway. It's a big drift.



Then Maren just walked around a bit saying "snow" and looking at rocks thinking it was Izzy do and saying "gross." When she clearly needed a kleenex and I was getting cold (3 minutes, remember) we came back in. Brrrrr.

Hey, Maren, did you eat any snow? It tastes great! You will have to try out my sled sometime--it is really fun.
