They say we got around 15-16" of snow... sure seemed like more though!

The kids had a snow day yesterday and today. You can see why here- the tractor is on the road. It's a good thing my dad and brother got a plow and cab on that tractor, we're putting it to good use... and it's not even officially winter yet.

It's snowing. Again. The kids had their second snow day from school, and it's not getting any better.

As the sun rose this morning, we got a bit of fog coming up from the snow. If you look very close, there are a lot of snowflakes floating around, reflecting the sun like glitter.

This was a very temporary glimpse of the sun. The wind was very chilly, I couldn't stay out long in it. I think the amount of snow doubled overnight.

We got quite a bit of snow overnight. Then it didn't stop all day. The kids had their first snow day from school... already.

The closer we got to the front of the line for Santa, the further back she got from us. She wasn't quite ready to meet him, but I did get her to come near him (with me there for safety, of course).

Antique sleigh bells. These used to hang on a wall at my grandmother's house.
