Winter Wonderland

The view out our back door
Notice the red dot to the right of the mail box, that's the fire hydrant.

Our huge snow pile from the snow plow.

It's almost as tall as Jon.

As many of you may have noticed from the previous posts, I have been a littl homesick since coming back from being in Utah for Christmas. The day we got back, it was snowing and it ended up snowing all night and all the next day. There was a wind chill advisory for the following day of -35. The weather didn't help lift my spirits much that first day back. We couldn't go anywhere or do anything, because of the weather, so I thought I'd take a few pictures to show you how much snow we have. This is the most snow we've had since we've lived here. The first three pictures were taken Thursday, the day after we got back and the bottom pictures were taken on Saturday when the sun decided to shine. Thank goodness for the sun, and for warmer weather. We have been in the 20's and today we are supposed to get to 30 degrees. Isn't it crazy when below freezing feels warm, because it's above zero. Anyway, as I was thinking about this post, I realized that not all of the Christmas songs we hear are about Christmas. Some of them are about the "frightful" weather, Let it Snow, Baby it's Cold Outside, Walking in a Winter Wonderland, etc. I don't know about where you live, but our frigthful weather doesn't go away just because Christmas is over. Anyway, we are definitely living in a "winter wonderland" right now, and as long as the temps stay up, I can handle all the snow. Wishing you a warm and cozy winter!
