We got a big snowstorm this weekend. It was supposed to hit Saturday night/Sunday morning so we shopped and took Christmas lights down on Saturday. Here is Scott taking down the lights. That's snow up there from our last snow storm a few days earlier. There was still a little snow left...not much. Scott got the lights down in no time.
Matthew was his helper. Matthew loves helping Scott do pretty much anything.
And then Sunday morning the snow came. Church was canceled because it supposed to snow 6 to 10 inches while we would have been at church. We probably got about 8 inches. It was windy too so the snow was blowing into drifts 3 and 4 feet high.

Anna and Matthew wanted to wear some of my sunglasses to keep the blowing snow out of their eyes. I thought it would be better to let them play in the 20 degree weather than what was coming next...
...the Arctic blast. Monday it didn't get above 0 degrees. Some of our pipes froze. :( It didn't snow any more but there was so much snow already! School was canceled. And the Air Force Base was closed so Scott got to stay home with us too. Relaxing but very cold day.
The snow drifted up even worse in front of the house. We probably won't be going out that way for a while.
And on his day off Scott shoveled the driveway. There was a three foot drift in front of the garage doors. It was a lot of work and in sub zero temps. Now we can get our cars out of the garage. School is canceled tomorrow as well, but Scott has to go back to work. It's supposed to warm up but will still be below zero at school bus time, so probably a good idea to cancel again. The kids are excited to go play in the snow, but I won't let them go out again til it gets warmer. I hear we are getting balmy temps in the 40s later in the week. Break out the swim suits!
