On the Outside. . .

a blizzard was raging!  Even weather.com used the word "blizzard" underneath the picture of snowflakes.  I didn't really get what it meant this morning.  I went out to help Alex shovel and it was rather pleasant.  Adeline stayed in while the other two girls came out to play and make snowmen.  Savannah and Lila enjoyed being covered by the snow we were scooping off the driveway.  I ended up burrying them from the chest down which they thought was really funny.  After a solid hour of shoveling, we were ready to go in but not before Lila got her bike out to ride.  Only my Miss Grace wouldn't be stopped by the snow.

Soon after we came in, the white-out conditions rolled in.   The snow fell heavy and the winds were whipping which pulled Alex outside once again to shovel an additional six inches off the drive again.  By the end of the evening, all of our windows look like this - even without screens in.  I guess that is how one tells they are in a true blizzard.  Wish us luck on the digging out in the morning!!
