Oh the weather outside is frightful......

Well it arrived a few hours late, but it is making up for that! The snow was supposed to start around 4 this morning but it didn't start until around 9ish. When it started it really meant to make up for lost time. My mother in law and I went out to shovel at around 11 and there was already about 6 inches of snow on the ground. We spent about an hour clearing paths, the driveway and stairs. We will go out again in a few hours and do another pass over everything. Better to do a little bit at a time instead of trying to do a foot all at once. At this rate we will have well over a foot when it is all said and done.

About an hour after the snow started we got a call from Logan's school. They decided after talking with the bus company that it would not be a good idea to have buses on the road tomorrow. So Logan is officially on christmas break. I should hear late tonight or early in the morning if the school I drive for will have school. I can hope and wish they are smart and cancel as well.

I went out last night before the snow started and took pictures of the lite up wreathes against the snow.







After shoveling today I took the camera out to get pictures of the yard. The snow is piling up quickly and soon all the trellises will be far under the snow.









The snow certainly is pretty, as long as you don't have to go drive in it! The town plow just passed the house for the first time today. With the economy the way it is they are reducing the number of hours they have available for plowing etc. The state roads as well. Driving this winter will be a challenge.

That is a lot of snow. It is indeed pretty when you don't have to drive in it. Surely the school you drive for would close as well. With that much snow, the snow plows won't even be safe. I see 'Frosty' is almost covered up! Happy holidays to you and your family!

You've got some lovely snow there! I'd love to have some as well. Last winter was really low on snow, and so far we've had next to nothing. We handle a foot or two well, but if there's more of it at the same time we'll be in trouble.

It certainly looks as though you're going to have a white Christmas - wish I could have one too as I can hardly remember the last time it snowed on Christmas day.

Have a lovely time over Christmas and the New year!!!

Cor blimey!!! THAT'S snow!
I had to chuckle whenI saw the tin man. That snow piled right up on him, didn't it?
It's been years since I've seen snow like that.

Thanks for the nice snow show.
