I woke up at 1 o’clock on Thursday morning and it was snowing hard. I had a glass of water, and went back to bed thinking that we would get the 3-6 inches of the white stuff after all. Since there was nothing I could do, I climbed under the covers and slept soundly.
Upon rising at 7:00 I found a “Winter Wonderland” outside. I put on my boots, hat, coat and gloves and walked the puppies in the deep snow. Heck, we already had 6 inches of new snow! I checked the TV and found out that the schools were closed, so I called Emily and asked if she wanted to come over for blueberry pancakes! In less than 15 minutes she was here, covered in snow, but happy not to have school!
After breakfast, Hubby went out to use the snow blower on our driveway, (500 feet long) and Emily and I sat singing Christmas carols and wrapping Christmas gifts. It was so much fun!
By midday, we had even more snow and Hubby and Em and I all had Hot-Wings for lunch.
We had an appointment for Anneliese at the Veterinarian and Hubby was kind enough to drive us. We used our big 4 wheel drive pick-up truck to get there. We were safe, but unfortunately there were many accidents in our area, including one that shut down the major highway near us.
We drove downtown to get the mail, and I jumped out of the truck and into a snow bank that came up to my knees! After that it was just one step after another into deeper and deeper piles of snow!
We came home and played outside with the puppies. Emily is always a great sport and will take a run in the deepest snow to encourage the puppies to follow her.
It is the evening now, and it’s still snowing. I think we are closing in on about 12 inches of snow, while Hubby says it’s about 10 inches. All I know is that there is a lot of deep snow outside and more expected tonight before it all ends.
For me this means staying in my boots until I fall into bed tonight. For Hubby it means more snow blowing duty, as we have an oil delivery tomorrow!
Snow, Snow & More Snow!!!
Dad heard about the accident and hoped you all were ok 🙂
I LOVE that first picture of Emily! Sigh…I wish I lived near you.
Wow ! That’s indeed a lot of snow !! I don’t even remember when we had such a lot here I am sure it must have been some 25 years ago when my son was a little boy. The last years we hadn’t snow at all or very very poor. You have the perfect Christmas weather, lol ! (I would prefer to spend Christmas with the Australians !)
Whoa! Lots of snow!! Looks like a lot of fun to play in!
Let it snow!! I would have made it to your home too if I had heard about those blueberry pancakes, mmmmhhhh!
Wishing you and yours a peaceful and merry Xmas. And a happy New Year too!
What a beautiful scene…Its very good that you live there because that much snow would do me in!!!
Love those pics of Em with the puppies! I’m so glad that she lives so close and comes and visits like she does. I am sure that you are a wonderful influence on her life, and it must be nice for you to have a young one around the house too! 🙂
Back in work today–a little over 2 hours to get here–but it is my last office day until after the New Year!! Yeah!!
Love you!
Mandy
