Here comes the snow......

Before Sunday our grass was green. The kids could swing. The kids could ride their bikes - even though it was cold. No longer.

The snow started on Sunday night....and it hasn't stopped. Honestly. Today is Thursday morning, and it is still snowing. As of now we have 48 inches of snow. The news folk are now calling this the Blizzard of 2010!

Syracuse is used to snow. They do snow. They know snow. We average 115 inches of snow a year. Lots of snow is not usual. What is unusual is that it has come in such an accumulated clump. It is impressive. It is amazing. It's also getting depressing.......
Believe it or not, the kids have yet to have a snow day. 48 inches in 3 days and no snow day. Monday, there was a 1 hour delay. Tuesday and Wednesday, 2 hour delays.

The kids have played outside most mornings before school, but now it's getting harder. So much snow that their legs sink and they can't walk.

All that snow is pretty and festive for the holidays. After Christmas though, it gets really, really old.

Crazy! I love snow, but would probably get tired of it with as much as you guys get. I can't believe there have been no snow days yet - what's the fun in that?

P.S. Post pics of your remodel!!!!

WOW! At least if feels like December and Christmas time around there (looking at the positive side, right!). Colorado is gearing up for a drought-filled summer once again. Where's our snow???
