Snow Day

I knew it was coming, but when I woke up this morning too snow falling from the sky, it still surprised me. Deep down I was hoping that we had finally escaped the clutches of winter, and spring was on the way. No such luck!






We must have gotten around a foot of snow here today. I know that isn’t much to people who live in New York State or anything, but I haven’t seen snow like this in a while.

I was telling Brandon, that snow was a lot easier to deal with in Port Alexander. All we had to do there was make sure our skiffs were not going to sink from the weight. Oh and of course shovel our very long board walk, ugh… Of course I was just a kid then and it seems that childhood memories always have a bit of frosting too them. I do wish that I didn’t have to worry about driving on the roads around here. Nothing like being stuck in your house for days on end! Brandon had to drive home from work today going just 25 mph and that’s in a 55 mph zone.

The pictures I have posted on here are of the plow’s second trip down our drive way. As you can see the mountain of snow that they piled up was about as high as the cab of their truck!!
The kids would have had a blast playing in it tomorrow, except for the fact that it is now raining and by tomorrow will be a horrible mess. Oh and did I mention that it is supposed to drop down below zero on Monday, and all the way down to 18 on Tuesday? That will make a wonderful FROZEN mess of all the melting snow.

I also took some pictures of Brandon getting some exercise. We both probably shoveled about three times each today. Fun stuff…
