ok, i'm downplaying it a little...

If you look up the weather for where we live you will read the following:

periods of snow with areas of blowing snow...

widespread blowing snow and a chance of snow...

heavy snowfall and blowing snow...

when I look out my window I see the following:

periods of snow with areas of blowing snow...

widespread blowing of snow and lots of snow...

heavy snowfall, blowing snow and lots more snow...

and even more than that, I see snow! It's literally white out conditions around here.

So to make a long story longer...we've had A LOT of snow and it's still coming! I'd say rough estimates for where we are would be at least 20" accumulatively so far--at least. Not mentioning what's on its way--still.

It's so pur-ty! I can't wait to post pics. You won't believe your eyes! Yes, I actually LIKE it! Hey I'm a Minnesotan. This is MILD!You should've been here in '91!

There is a downside to all this fluffy white fun. We don't have a snowblower, so yours truly has had to put her fair share of hours in shovelling the driveway...which needs to be done again. AND, it's a good thing we aren't using the backyard. We can't find it anyway! Asa went out to get some wood for the fireplace(through the backyard) and I thought I'd lost him. Good thing he was wearing a black hat and that he's 6 ft tall. That's about all I could see of him, his black hat covered head! We're gonna tie a rope around his waist and put bells on his boots the next time he has to go out, just like they do on Arctic expeditions! Well, maybe not the bells...

So we are having fun watching the snow fall and it's so nice and bright because it's so white. Maybe the sun is shining a little, I wouldn't be able to tell you. You see there's been some snow...
