Will it ever end??

I like snow. It's very beautiful when all the green is covered in white. Especially when the sun shines through the trees and makes the snow sparkle. The dogs love it. The kids love it. You'd think it was the best thing in the world! Snow at Christmas time. Sledding down big hills or through our trees--trying to not get killed....
Yeh--right!
You can't get out of the driveway without chains. And by some chance you do get out without chains--you slide everywhere because of the 6 inches of ice that is under the snow on your unmaintainenced, in the middle of no-where neighborhood. I really think the couple of feet we got is enough. It was great the first day or 2, but nearly every single night--more snow. Not just a dusting, but 6" here, 6" there.....
Even if the sun had melted alittle bit of it--it made up for it during the night.
More is to come tonight also. Only another 2-5". Not too bad. But.....it's all going to start leaving tomorrow!! The temperatures are going up and then we get the soggy, dirty, slushy, ugly, wet ground. Mud will be everywhere. The dogs and kids will not be tracking in snow anymore, but mud!
Hard to believe that winter just started 2 days ago.





YES--that is my son in the pink! It's all we have to keep him warm.....
