Snow Storm!

We awoke this morning to snow falling, and the promise of a few inches of snow throughout the day. The forecasters had been pretty wrong earlier in the week, so why should they get it right this time?

It is now 10:00 PM and it is still snowing. 7 1/4 inches at last measure. We have also been told that we can expect freezing rain and sleet (2-3 inches worth) tonight. The news is actually reporting that the freezing rain has arrived right this second. Yay.

Here is a shot of Drew earlier in the day.

When the Drew's away (sleeping) the parents will play. Jill and I had a great time playing in the snow and snowboarding in the front yard for a little more than an hour after Drew went down for the night. It was snowing hard and the snow on the ground made it BRIGHT outside. THe next picture was taken without a flash as an example.

Jason snowboarding.

Jill can snowboard, too!

Jason again. (It's more fun than it looks)

Jill saw the snow on the slide of Drew's clubhouse and couldn't help herself. Here you see her crashing to the ground. Action photo!

Here is the super snowman I built yesterday. He's got a lot of snow making his appearance very cone-like. Jill uncovered his face for your viewing pleasure.

Okay freezing rain... we are waiting.. Do your worst!
