The Weather Outside is Frightful!

Winter has finally reared its ugly head in Iowa! Yesterday we were all given warning that a blizzard was on its way! So...break out the heavy winter coats, hats, scarves and mittens!


Alas! The weathermen were actually right this time. We woke up this morning after a never ending snowfall during the night to 10 inches of snow and huge drifts. The winds got stronger and stronger as the day went on with gusts up to 50 miles an hour. Many businesses closed including TrueNorth and European Motors so we were taken by surprise when we all had a SNOW DAY!!!


Mike spent part of the day battling the cold and wind trying to coax the snow out of our driveway. Lila and I played and played all day long! She helped keep me company while I worked and I took breaks to have some snuggle time!

By this afternoon we were all snug in the house enjoying the impromptu family time we were given! We both agree...if it is going to snow and get gross out, it might as well do it so badly that we get these snow days more often!
