2 inches of snow, topped with 1 inch of ice, topped with another 2 inches of snow that is.

School is out this week.  We're taking some snow days!!  Over the course of 2 days, we rec'd a total of 5 inches of snow then ice then more snow.  Ben is the most snow-loving kid ever, so he's spent a lot of time outdoors this week.  He literally bundles up, plays for a couple of ours, comes in to change into warm, dry clothes and then heads back out.  We've had the fireplace going almost every day, and I should have bought stock in Swiss Miss.  It's been a great week for him!

Hundreds of thousands of people in our state, most of which are in our city, are without power, and thus heat today.  We have been very fortunate not to have lost power so far.  Hopefully, it will stay that way.  Please pray for those without heat and power right now.  I know they would appreciate that.

Here's a quick slideshow of pics I took this morning.
