We got a bit of snow

It's currently 17 F outside. That's without the windchill, which drops it to 0 or less.

We are in a Lake Effect Snow Warning, meaning we will get 1-3 inches of snowfall an hour for the next 30 hours. Yup, we really could have another three feet of snow on us before this weekend is over. More likely we'll only have a total of two feet... but we've already had at least half that since yesterday.

Travis has shovelled the walks three times since the snowfall started. Our snow-people are burried. You cannot even see their hats, although I think the carrot noses still show through a bit.

Megan helped Zoë put together this snowman on New Year's Eve.
I'll post some of the videos Zoë took later- she filmed about 10 of them.

Below is the same snowman this morning.
From the side you can see more of the hat.

The good thing? Other than getting Nana to the airport, where it has NOT been snowing and will not be snowing (the Lake Effect snow is weird in that it can snow with BLUE SKIES overhead and the sun shinning! Chicago has not had any flakes, so if her bus can get to Chicago, there shouldn't be any problems with her getting home), we have nowhere we have to be- other than some fish Travis has to care for and church tomorrow (I have a 7:30 am meeting, too. UGH!)

Travis is down to the last few scoops of snow.

He moved the van to finish clearing the driveway underneath.

If you look carefully, you can see our Christmas lights are on.

We are going to be (not) walking in a Winter Wonderland. We hope you are all enjoying your New Year, too!
