First snow

It is so hard to imagine this as we are enjoying this Indian Summer weather right now, but... while most of you woke up last Wednesday to a dusting of snow... we woke up to a blanket! Over the night we got approximately 8 inches of heavy, wet, white stuff. Nolan was so excited and spent most of his day watching out the window. The adult world was a bit more complex... the milkman tried an hour to get up the hill and the bus had troubles too. Apparently the Department of Transportation wasn't aware of the snow we had received... all were appreciative once they made the realization that life on the hill was a bit different than everywhere else! Thankfully I didn't have to get out in the stuff! That is one perk to being home. John said in 6 years of driving this way to work, it was the worst ever. Once again, nice to not have to get out and drive in it!


Here are a few pics of Nolan enjoying his first time plowing out the driveway with his daddy this season. Not sure which was better... simply riding the JD w/o Jackson or plowing the snow on the JD?!?!


Although this weather is beautiful... it's so true that winter is just around the corner. I think we're pretty lucky thus far, but I remember just a few years back when we had no snow up until January and then got pounded for a few full months. Never know... that is just one of those things living in the north! :) Here's to enjoying this while it lasts!!!!

Glad you got the pics loaded!! I spend too much time here checking other blogs, but it is a little lull and I must answer the phone, so... Getting ready to go home now. Trying to log more hours for now and pay for the dang root canal next week...or part of it..wasn't on my list of things to do before the end of the year!!
