The local weather has been talking about this "winter storm" that was coming!! They were saying that is was going to be a MAJOR storm, predicting it to hit Monday night (1-31) and Tuesday (2-1) until about noon! And that we won't be above freezing until "maybe" Friday!! Plus the wind is blowing with gusts up to 40 MPH which makes the windchill temps at -17 and they're predicting -20 for Wednesday!!! As of 7pm Monday night the schools had already cancelled school for Tuesday.
The storm started later than they predicted but thankfully it came with NO freezing rain for our area!!! Went to sleep last night with snow coming down at a decent rate!! Woke up this morning (after sleeping in until 9) the following:
View out our window of our backyard.
The view out the other window...notice the snow piled up on the actual window...and that rounded thing outside the window is the BBQ!!!
Look at the pile on top of the table...and where did the legs of the chairs go?
The trampoline is piled high with snow as well!!
Look at this window...the snow is actually stuck to it!!
Here is the view out the front door...notice the CLEAR sidewalk at the top of the picture...then the pile of snow!!!
Front porch...my sign blew down and is piled with snow!!
View of the street and other houses (from our front door...NO WAY I am going outside!)
Hubby and Tristan ready to brave the blizzard conditions outside!!
And YES WE ARE HUGE GREEN BAY FANS...GO PACK GO!!!!!
Tristan sitting in the HUGE snow drift on the side of the house...good thing we don't need to use the gate!!
Tristan standing in snow drift on sidewalk!!
Hubby measuring snow drift on front walkway...19" deep!!!
Tristan sliding through snow drift on walkway!!
Tristan was awake first this morning so he got to experience all the snow first (with daddy). Bryce woke up later and went outside with his brother!! The BIG snow drift on the side of the house had 2 tunnels going through it...they can only be outside for about 20-30 minutes because it is SO SUPER COLD out there!!! However, mommy thought ahead =D I went to Redbox yesterday and rented 4 movies that they have been wanting to see so that they would be occupied and not fighting ALL day long!!!
Thank you Lord for snow days, movies, popcorn, hot cocoa and the Internet!! HEHE
Hope everyone is having a GREAT Tuesday whether it be inside with your family or at work!!! Thanks for stopping by...love to hear from you so please leave your comments!!!
