We got several inches of snow during the night last night so the kids' schools were cancelled yet again. The snow tapered off for a couple of hours this afternoon but it has picked right back up and has now added wind to the mix.
We have at least 14 or 15 inches on the ground and it is now coming down really hard yet again. Those big, fluffy flakes that make everything so pretty but that are certainly weighing down the trees.
The kids all spent a good amount of time out in the snow today. It's not good packing snow however so they just played around with friends and worked on some existing forts.
When they came inside, we made some homemade pretzels and some hot cider. I went out to shovel a couple of times, trying to keep the driveway moderately clear. Fortunately, on my first trip out, when I had barely started to shovel the latest 5 inches off the ground, a neighbor quickly came over with his snowblower and took over for me. Finishing the job in 15 minutes (we are going to HAVE to get one of those!) We are under a Level 3 snow emergency which means that emergency vehicles only are supposed to be on the roads. The kids are convinced that they won't have school again tomorrow and are just impatiently awaiting the official announcement. Josh is on his way home from Mexico but we don't know how far he will make it. I spoke to him just a few minutes ago and he was in Houston. He might be able to make it to Indy but not be able to make the last hour home. We'll see....
