    Got a good storm last night, finally a good enough snow to take a few pictures. Pics of our 1880 farm house and looking out the side window down to the wood stacks. image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpg

    Rained liked crazy here last night. After two days of really cold weather, it jumped up before we could get some snow. Going to rain here later today.

    We ended up with about 4" of snow over the weekend, the most by far this year. I took off work yesterday so I had a chance to bundle up the 3 month old and we watched my other daughter and the dogs play on the frozen creek and sled ride.

    That's a lot of rain even for a 24hr period. You sure you ain't living in the Pacific Northwet?

    That's a guesstimate, but we got a chit-ton of it since this morning.

    Some days it sure feels like the Pacific Northwest here!!

    My sentiments exactly Swags....bout time we had some snow. I measured 7.5 inches this morning before I had the snow blowing done. Wet and heavy was right....I have a good sized Husqvarna blower and it was earning it's keep for sure.
