Blizzard

Nemo? Really? Couldn’t they have thought of a better name for this blizzard? This was some storm! — no little fish mind you — 2 1/2 feet of snow accumulation, higher in drift areas, howling gusts of wind, white outs, power outages (although we were lucky not to lose ours), and a sleepless night for me (I can’t sleep through heavy winds that shake the house and bend the trees). A night and a day afterwards all was calm with bright sunshine and blue, blue, blue skies!…The mountain!! — how many feet do you think this snow plow mound is? Well, take a look at my peanuts at the very top, and that should give you some idea.Notice how much snow we have at the front door!This is what sledding looks like in 2 1/2 feet of white stuff!Warming up after a long afternoon in the snow. I am in love with their pink cheeks.And, what happens when you give your kiddos total control of hot cocoa toppings:) Mmmmm. They know what’s good!
