Snow day!

We had a MAJOR snow day a couple of weeks ago. The kids were out of school for 2 days and we had snow hang around for 5 days in our yard. That's pretty major here, as usually the snow melts the same day it falls. There were lots of trees breaking and it was beautiful all around us!

The cows were a little freaked out by the white ground. They did come for hay though. I had to chip thick ice off of their water for 3 days! That was getting old.

The kids had a great time playing in the snow. The best part was that they could come inside and dry off unlike when we go to the snow. Once you're wet and tired we go home! The dryer got a work out until Daddy lit the fire. Then I cooked the clothes until they were dry.

I love how the snow accumulates on the fences and tree branches. It's amazing how it builds up on the smallest surfaces.

Here is my German Shepard. Look at how DEEP it was!!! Ha, ha. Just kidding. She's a Corgi and only has 4 inch legs. I think we ended up with about 8-10 inches. Sophie LOVES the snow and jumps around making little paths with her belly. She's a cold weather doggie.

Here's my car. It had a snow "blanket" for 2 days. Then it finally melted enough and slid off in the parking lot when we went driving into town on day 2 of the kids being home from school. Um, 2 snow days can be a little hard when the had just come off of a weekend. Snow days should happen on Thursdays and Fridays, not Mondays and Tuesdays!

Ok, that was enough snow for a while. We aren't used to snow that much so after a couple of days we're tired of it. I couldn't live with it for months at a time. No way!
