It snowed
And snowed. And snowed. The weather people were so excited - they get all hot and bothered for a good storm.

And per usual the youngest rookie reporters were forced to stand outside in the blizzard to give us reports. Snow is white and cold. Also the snow was too fluffy to pack into snowballs or to make snowmen. Children were disappointed. Dogs, less so.

We've shoveled like three different times. I had to take a nap from shoveling exhaustion. When it is like 14 degrees outside and you work up a sweat from shoveling, you need a cinnamon roll and a nap stat.

I don't have an exact snowfall total, but I'd guess we're in the foot range.



This is a bird’s eye view of the top of our neighbor’s car. The drifts are up to the door - prior to shovel trip #1.

We opted to go do round #2 of shoveling during a lull in the storm. Of course we miscalculated and ended up trying to shovel during a particularly nasty band of 3-4 inches/hour snowfall. Whoops.



And of course, the mighty Poopus rests after a particularly rousing game of... competitive sleeping. And yes, that is my cat flashing you.

I'm actually jealous.

Not of the shoveling...but of the snow part. Despite being stuck at home so much lately, I like being stuck because of snow.

Hope your commute tomorrow is, uh, smooth. If it's not, I look forward to your commentary on it!
