Winter's here!

We got our first big snowfall of the year over the weekend. It started during the night on Friday. The drive home Saturday morning was slow going and there were quite a few car accidents. I decided to stop and fill gas before going hoe since I was at just under half a tank. While I was there I stopped home to see if Mike wanted anything and to let him know where I was. A few minutes later I was about a block and a half from home when I saw a tree branch hit a power line and there was a pow and big flash. That knocked our power out. The snow was so heavy that tree branches were coming down. Before I got home a branch had come down in our neighbors driveway. Our Explorer was sitting under that same tree.


So, I cleaned it of and moved it into the garage. About an hour later we headed out to Luke's floor hockey game. That was short lived. The power was out at the school where it is held. When we got home another branch had fallen. This one fell right where that explorer had been sitting.

One more hour went by and we decided to head to Mike's mom's since it was getting cool in the house. I got in a good nap and the kids got to play with Grandma. A few hours later the house was warm and we were home to kick back and hang as a family.

Sunday we stayed home. It was still snowing and I just couldn't bring myself to go out in it again. The kids spent most of the day playing in their playroom Mike and I just had a relaxing day.

Today the roads are clear and the snow is settling, but it looks like winter is here to stay.
