Snowed In!

The snow we had last weekend was nothing compared to what we have now! We've had a crazy weather week. On Wednesday we got a dusting of snow in the morning and a huge snow storm was forecasted for later in the day so school was cancelled. As it turns out, we didn't get any snow - just rain that afternoon. Then on Thursday morning we got a couple inches of snow and shockingly school wasn't cancelled as the forecast wasn't calling for any more snow. I couldn't believe it as we live in a hilly area and the driving conditions on our street were pretty bad. But, the bus did arrive with a bit of slipping and sliding and off to school the kids went.

A few hours later, the snow really started dumping on us. We hurried off to school to pick up the kids early before the roads got any worse. School is officially closed now until January and the snow isn't going anywhere as it is only 20 degrees this morning.

Here the kids are playing on our driveway while waiting for the school bus.





We have a great driveway for sledding. Even dad got in on some of the fun.





Going for a little walk in our neighborhood.



More sledding down driveways.



This ice rink is our street. More than one car has had some trouble getting up it.



I'm always amused by the winter wonderland photos of our house.

Night time sled races were the hit of the evening.
