Winter is Here

As I write it is really December as you know I was working furiously to get caught up on all of our work that I hadn't posted since last December. It is nice to know I am finally getting caught up and can write about what is really going on.
We finally have winter and it really came in with a bang. Our first big snow was a whopper. Our yard had either 20" or 18" depending on where we measured. I had a snow day from work most businesses and schools were closed in the area even the UW closed which is a very rare occurance. It took us about 4.5 hours to get everything cleared out including helping the neighbors and shoveling the snow off the flat mudroom roof. So here are some photos of the snow to enjoy now that the work is done.
