Today the storm hit. Although it wasn't snowing too hard when we woke up, the wind was fierce and freezing and all predictions were that it was only going to get worse, so we decided to stay home from church. As it turns out it was a good decision. We were soon unable to see my parent's home (only a field away) and it hasn't let up all day. Mark just went to put wood in our outdoor wood stove and had to trudge through drifts that were up to his waist. Our dog Chewie had to become part kangaroo just to go for a pee! We enjoyed a great family day (after going back to bed for a while...) and decided to open our Christmas presents. New toys and games are always welcome when you're snow bound!
We haven't seen a plow since early this morning so the road also has quite a thick blanket on it. I hope we're awake tomorrow when it goes by...that should be quite the show!
So for now we're going to snuggle back down, and wait to see what the morning brings (and the clouds overnight)
Imagine...winter is still 7 days away!
