Inch by Inch...

So far, those darn weathermen are batting a thousand. They predicted snow and we got it. They predicted more snow and we are still getting it.

I hate when they're right.

We woke up to several inches on the ground and by the time hubby snowblowed and Carter and I took care of the decks, it wasn't long before it needed it again. We figured we were in for a long day playing that game, trying to stay ahead of too much accumulation, but then it stopped. For like 4 hours.

That fit into our plans just fine. We had friends in town from Colorado and had plans to meet them at a little get-together just a few miles away. Our road hadn't been plowed but once we got out to the main roads, it was plowed and OK. So we got to see our friends awhile and that was nice!

The wind picked up while we were gone so when we got home we had round 2 of snow removal. Now it has been coming down and looks like it won't stop until we get to 10 or 15 or 20 inches. So I did what any normal person would do on a night like this, made some yummy Eggnoggin' tea and plopped on the couch to watch 2, yes 2, Christmas movies in a row on Lifetime.

Oh yes, hard work has its rewards!

We'll see if tomorrow brings more of the same. I heard the Giants are having a hard time getting to Minneapolis because of the storm. Maybe the Vikings will get a win from a forfeit like Carter's basketball team did last night.

OK, it just feels like someplace froze over...
