Let It Snow, and blow

We got around 13+ inches of total snow from Thursday night through Sunday morning. School was cancelled Friday, and the opffice was half empty. The snow fell all day Saturday and was fantastic to watch. Up until about 5 PM at least. At that point, the snow started falling horizontal as the wind kicked up. It is soo windy that despite having 13 inches of snow, you can still see grass in a lot of spots on my yard as all the snow blew and drifted 4 feet high against everyone's houses.

We had a lot of fun in the snow, going sledding and then playing in the backyard. Benjamin gives a very good whitewash, but leared to his dismay that what goes around comes around. Peter loved the snow, as you can see below, and very vocally protested when I took him in, despite having purple lips, wrists, and ankles.

Church was cancelled Sunday and when I went out to blow snow I was very glad it was. The wind was extraordinary and the air was freezing. I was getting brain freeze from the wind.

Overall, great weekend to do nothing and watch the snow come down. We now are pretty well set for a white Christmas.
