Snow

"Snowin' Snowin' Snowin', yes it's really blowin' that snow!"
(Amanda is singing that)


The drifts in the back of the house in front of the garage are getting huge! The wind is really whiping across the field. It's pretty much impossible to keep this old farmhouse warm when the wind blows this hard. We have snow piled up on the landing going to the basement. There is snow coming through the sliding glass door in the kitchen and it's even coming through the vent in the downstairs bathroom! The blinds and shades just move everytime a gust hits the house. It's crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't have water later tonight, my guess will be no we won't.

Oh well, it's life. Snow might not be my most favortie thing in the world, and cold weather is not even on the favorites list. But it is something pretty to look at. Waking up in the morning and seeing what awesome formations the wind has turned the snow into is pretty cool.

Here are some pictures:

I added some pictures of today too-2-14-07, it's hard to see but the drift in front of the garage is as tall as the hood of the Durango. It was fun getting that out for Kirk to go to work today. We do have water, for those that were wondering. It was out last night when we were sleeping but we warmed it up, so by the time morning came it was thawed out again. We are now on a level 2(use extreme caution) rather than a level 3(no driving at all) snow alert so that's good. Some of the surrounding counties are still a level 3 though. Kirk said the roads weren't that bad going to work, so it's mainly the side streets. Lucky for us we live on a main road! :) If it was a little warmer I would let the kids go out, but still way to cold for that and it's supposed to get colder. Hopefully one day this week! Stay Warm!
