So another snow day from school for us. We are luckier than other towns in the tri-state area - many have already used up their snow days and will be soon eating into Spring break or Summer break. We have at least one more day left (luckily the first bad snow storm hit during Christmas break).
Our snowy street. Wonderful neighbors on either side used the snowblower to clear the sidewalks AND our driveway. We don't mind shoveling, but when it's this deep that blower sure can make short work of it.
My buried trash cans. My problem I have now is figuring where to put the snow I shovel (you can see the enormous pile next to the house already.
The kids venture into the backyard, checking out the trench dug for Lucy's benefit this morning.
You can see the amount of snow from this storm on the roof (and light) of the garage. It's hard to gauge snowfall when it doesn't all melt away between storms.
Alex shows how deep the snow is. This is the cut made by the snowblower. Isn't the bare driveway under Alex's feet lovely?!
Jim found the perfect spot for a snow fort for the kids. Big pile of snow in front from shoveling over the past few weeks. And support in the back from the section of fence.
Lots of sibling fun making the "rooms" in the fort.
Grace peeks over the side with a tiny snowman standing guard. She is probably sitting on her knees here.
Poor Lucy whimpering because she wants to be part of the snow fort too.

In spite of how unbelievable that amount of snow is in my Texas mind, I wish we were there right now. Nothing like sharing cabin fever with the family.
Love the pictures!
