Blizzard Before Christmas!

We had several inches of snow on Friday... so another day of no school... then we woke up Saturday to even more snow and strong east winds... it is 15*F with a windchill of 0*F! We braved the conditions and drove to Washington to pick up Cole from his cousins. We saw many people spun out on the freeways, very icy. By afternoon it had really piled up. We have about 10 inches at our house and that is even with the heavy winds blowing it around. The snow drifts are a few feet high.. driving around town it was so cool to watch the drifts shifting on the roadways. It is similar to the sand dunes when the wind blows. It also looks a bit like dry ice. They have already canceled church meetings for tomorrow. We did drive over to our building and get a picture. I will have to post it. It is pretty cool. It definately feels like Christmas at our house.

Here's a picture of Maddy hangin' her head out of the excursion for a brief moment to catch a snow flake in her mouth.. she got a face full!
