Snow Day! School was cancelled today due to the storm that is blowing through the midwest. It is actually fairly impressive…. we have gotten quite a bit of snow, over a foot already, it is still snowing plus there are winds up to 30mph which is blowing all of that snow around. The state we live in actually declared a blizzard warning and my college cancelled classes, which I guess never happens. Unfortunately, Jes & I still had to get up this morning to do kennels at school, which ended in both of us getting stuck on our ways home from school. Luckily, she got some help pushing her car out and Ben helped shovel my little Hyundai out (which meant that he had to shovel almost our whole alley in order to get the car parked again).

Home finally, I took some pictures of the snow.

Keep in mind that all of those pictures are from about 9am this morning, and it has not stopped snowing since then…. Oh and it is supposed to continue until at least midnight tonight. Needless to say we are completely snowed in. Especially since, I swear this city only owns 2 snowplows at the most (I actually saw them using a piece of construction equipment to semi-plow the streets earlier, it really wasn’t working either). The best part though is that school is cancelled again tomorrow! Two snow days in a row is pretty sweet in my opinion. I might as well enjoy it, since I am sure when you start having kids snow days becoming less exciting and a little more like work:)
