The blizzard I have been wishing for finally arrived.

The forecasters kept saying it was going to be a big storm. They had also said that about every other storm that came through and left us no moisture. When I got the call on Thursday morning that John’s school had been cancelled for the day, I didn’t believe it. The sun was coming up, the sky was cloudy, but NOTHING was on the ground. I thought the school district was crazy. As the day went on the snow fell harder and harder. By the time I was let go from work it took me almost an hour to get home on a normally 15 minute drive. The wind picked up which made it even worse. We got about 12-14 inches. By Friday the storm was gone and by Monday I bet we won’t even be able to tell that it snowed.

I let the boys out for a few minutes the afternoon of the blizzard and today we went out in the sun to build a snowman. He is our first try at one, but the boys think he is pretty cool. Check out our Blizzard ‘09 photo album.

It is March, and we still have not seen a real winter this season. We have already had to bring out the hoses and get a jump start on watering the lawn.  I am going to hate to see our water bill come July and August! YIKES! It has been so warm, a couple days this week the boys didn’t even need their coats playing outside! Crazy…….
