Snowicane

When my friend Patrice told me that they were calling our latest snow storm a Snowicane I just laughed.  Where do they come up with this stuff!   Anyway, we have gotten A LOT of snow.  I think about 18 inches has come down so far and it's still snowing.  The kids are loving it.  I think Christopher could live in Alaska because he can stay out in the snow forever and never get tired or cold.  He will fall down in the snow face first and just smile.  Michael, on the other hand, really doesn't like getting snow in his face, but otherwise he loves the snow.  Annie lasts about 5 mintues and has to come in for a warm bath.  :)  I took Jacob out in it yesterday and he was mesmerized by the big, white flakes.  The boys spent the morning helping Jeff dig us, and the neighbors, out of the snow.  School, of course, was cancelled today.  When they miss a day they have to add it on to the end of the school year.  I'm afraid, at this rate, they are going to be in school till July!!

The kids "kingdom" , as they were calling it.

No wonder we can't find renters for our condo--who wants to move in a snowicane?? :)

Hope spring comes soon for you!

I think Snowicane was pretty accurate - we have never seen so much snow!!

OUCH! That is a lot of snow! I remember February always being the worst month of winter over there. Looks like this year wasn't any different. You could always come and visit us. We've had maybe two snowfalls and the last one being just before New Years and all the snow was gone in two days.
