Snow, Snow, Go Away!

Last Friday into Saturday, we got about 14 inches of snow. It's been 11 days since the initial snowfall, and we've had an additional 6-10 inches of additional snowfall since then. The kids were all pretty excited about the first foot that fell, and enjoyed a few hours playing in it. However, since we've had cold and snowy days basically every day since, the kids are finally getting fed up with all the snow. Nolan and Natalie have only had school 5 days this month....(7 days so far have been cancelled.) We're all anxiously awaiting Spring and the big melt!

After 9 days, this is what my neighbor's deck furniture looks like!















Here are a couple samples of the icicles hanging from our gutters. This was a couple days ago, and they now hang even lower. I would estimate many icicles now exceed 10 feet in length as they hang as low as the bottom of the windows!
