It Snowed

and it snowed, and it snowed some more.... the snow blower had a hard time getting through the stuff on the driveway this morning even though I cleared it just last night! We probably got a good 4 inches during the night, which isn't that much in and of itself, but the fact that it was heavy and wet made the snow blower clog up.

After clearing the drive, I came in and told Goober that is was good "snowman" snow... he instantly wanted to go outside and build one... and Missy joined in! So we got all three kids bundled up and shoveled them into the back yard, After which I told Jer to go get his snow stuff on too... we were ALL going outside dang it! He boobed a little, but in the end I like to think he had fun playing in the snow, throwing snowballs at the kids, and building something that resembles a snowman (we didn't have carrots or sticks or anything... so really it's more of a snow "tower" than a snow "man", but that is okay!).

There is no way I'm going out on the roads today, the snow has melted just enough underneath to make it wicked slick... even just for walking on the newly cleared driveway! To all those that have more guts than me and venture out in their vehicles ... GOOD LUCK... and heaven forbid.. STAY OFF YOUR CELL PHONES!

PS just discovered our city is stupid... oh wait, I already knew that... it's just been reaffirmed. They aren't starting snow removal till tomorrow..... what in the.... apparently so that the snow can melt a little, freeze hard again, become black ice, then have the remaining "non slick" snow scraped off of the top to make it an ice skating rink.... sigh.
