It's snowing like crazy out there right now. We closed the store early because of the storm. The grocery store was insane most of the day with people buying milk, bread, and toilet paper. You know, we might not get out for, say 14 hours, maybe, if most of the plows broke down. It never ceases to amaze me how people react when the forecast predicts snow. When was the last time you couldn't get out of your house for 24 hours following a snow storm, not ice storm, but snow storm? Exactly! The next day, the roads are clear, the sun usually shines, and the trees are beautiful. But I digress. Where does all the milk, bread and toilet paper go that you bought two days before they were predicting a snow storm? I guess it goes to the same place that the extension cords that you use at Christmas go, or the fans you use in the summer? And maybe even the same place that the socks in the wash go, so that you don't have a matched set.
It's snowing hard, we might get 8-18 inches. So if you take that, divide by two and add 1, that gives you a better prediction for accumulation. So with the new 5-10 inches, I definitely have to go to work tomorrow.

Lot's of shoveling ahead. Ian has been here already and opened up the driveway so I can go to work. Ken's work today will involve the snowblower. March should bring less of this.
And here is the same picture, but enlarged and zoomed in on the center. You can really see the color patterns. Amazing!
...and by using some of the tools in the program, you can make a kaleidoscope pattern. Fun to play with, and interesting results.
Love that "Cheese" for the camera!
They are coming over today for a visit so I should have some more pictures to post later today. We are going to make a pot of beef stew, and hunker down for the big snow storm. I really don't want more snow, but my requests for changes in the weather have been ignored all winter long. Spring WILL be here soon!
Lexy wanted Papa and Daddy to get in the photo, too, even though they didn't have their coats on.
Look at those dimples! And what a smile.
Another great evening with the family. We also made a call to Great Grammie and Great Grampa Dow in Florida. They all talked for a while. Makes spring a little closer, doesn't it. Lexy said after she hung up that she really misses them. Me too!
These are some of the players in Sundays tournament.
Dawson with his usual smile. Having a great time no matter what he is doing.
Brooklynn is always ready with a "Cheese!" no matter what she is doing.
We picked Lexy up at school and she came to our house and helped us make cookies. Quite a trial with 3 kids that all want to help. But we did it, and even frosted them.
Papa and Dawson and Lexy are watching Peter Pan, until Dawson fell asleep. And it wasn't too much longer and Papa snoozed too.
Fun day. I was exhausted when they left. But I always love to see them come, and also to see their father show up and take them home.
