Snow Day

This morning we woke to snow, and a whole lot of it. We were sitting at close to 8 inches first thing this morning and it's still snowing lightly but getting wetter and no longer so high and fluffy - still pretty impressive for a city that gets snow 2 or 3 times a winter (none last winter!). Very few of us own winter tires (we do not), boots (we do not) or even shovels (we bought one last year - the first time it snowed this year our tenants shoveled as we didn't even bother. Woops! Sketchy landlords!).

Rio's preschool is cancelled so she and Jordan are outside taking care of business right now. I am inside with the fun task of tackling the 47 loads of laundry and house mess from our trip. Feeling very thankful we made the drive home last night in good road conditions instead of today.

I would be enjoying this a lot more if only the cupboards weren't bare and the roads a mess...



UPDATE: It's dumping again! Jordan and Rio's shoveling has been completely covered over again, but in the mean time they made the coolest snow man ever - or should I say "snow baby eagle"!


Jordan dug himself out and went grocery shopping in the 10 minutes the snow let up. Now it's a white out again and I am wondering how he's going to get home....

  2. Brings back memories of the time we all piled into the van and went to costco in a blizzard to get lettuce or some such thing!! Great baby snow eagle.
