Snow Day

Last Wednesday, after our big storm came through, we all had a snow day. The county declared a snow emergency, so all non emergency vehicles were to stay off the roads or be ticketed. This gave Me and Hubby snow days from work too. We were pretty sure that would happen, so Hubby had brought home from work his Carhart Overalls. As a family we went outside to play, but there was so much deep snow the sleds would not go down the hills. Then we tried to make snow forts, but it was not good packing snow. It was trash day, but who knew if the trash man would be coming in the next day or so. I had the boys get the trash can close to the driveway entrance before the snow, since our driveway is VERY long and it would have been awful to drag it out in deep snow. So out to the end of the drive we all went, Pete with a snow shovel to clear a spot for the can. We were all tired after our walk so we sat in the snow to rest and bury Hubby in the snow, although the wind was still biting and whiping snow in the air and into our faces. Up we go, only to stop in about a hunderd feet to make snow angels. By that time we are cold and went back in the house. The rest of the day was spent in the house watching movies - for some reason the satalite TV is giving us free STARZ channels for a year. Some sort of anniversery gift or something. Good timing for that! The driveway got plowed about 9 PM that night. and everything was running normally the next day. So much for the Blizzard of 2010!
