We took Abby and Caleb to the back door this morning and let them look at all the snow that fell last night (and is still falling). Abby, ever the intuitive observer, rightly exclaimed, "That's too much snow."Agreed.
So far we've measured an average of 28 inches of snow in the backyard with up to 36 inches in some places. We lost a significant portion of the beautiful tree in our front yard after the limbs cracked under the weight of the snowfall. Justin spent about 5 hours shoveling this morning to get our driveway cleared, then watched sadly as a snow plow cleared the road and pushed a mound of snow about 6 feet high and 4 feet deep across the entire bottom of the driveway.
Snow is a lot more fun if you're a kid. And, in our case, if you're at least 4 feet tall, which unfortunately our kids are not. Looks like we're officially snowed in. Time to hunker down with some play-doh and some books and wait for the sun to come out.
