It finally started Saturday afternoon around 4. It continued to snow until around 11pm. It looked so peaceful, and quiet as the snow fell last night. No wind, no traffic...just the silence of falling snow. Of course looking out the window is a difficult way to tell just how much snow fell, the ruler is stuck in the snow that accumulated on the picnic table, yes that would be 7 inches of the white stuff. On Friday we could have sat at the table and ate lunch. It's started snowing again this morning around 6:30. I may have to update the ruler shot later :)
Josh had quite a bit more snow than us...by yesterday afternoon Austin had over 9". He also was without power for a few hours. Josh also was entertained with thunder and lightning. Of course no worries for Josh, living on campus means he doesn't have to move any of the white stuff. He mentioned how nice that was a time of two.
Beckie had snow already on Friday. She and her roommate Jen drove in snow to Glenwood where Jen's parents live. Friday was the beginning of spring break for Beckie.
They planned to fly out of the cities with Jen's family heading to Vegas on Sunday (today). Friday evening Beckie called and said the snow was falling horizontally. Last night she called and said she was hanging out in a hotel in Minneapolis. They had decided to take advantage of the lull in the storm to travel, she said it took a bit longer but it wasn't as bad as expected. She wasn't sure if they would be flying out at their original time of 7:30am Sunday morning, but she was hopeful they would fly out sometime Sunday morning.
So perhaps if it continues to snow, we may get a snow day tomorrow? That would be a good thing, I could use another day of putzing. Now if we get some wind....well that could paint a whole new picture. For now I hope the wind stays calm I love the peaceful, quiet, freshness that is new fallen snow...Everything looks clean, and new. Perfect weather to curl up with a book, or watch a movie, or scrapbook. So many choices...but I imagine the little people around here will have a bit of input in how I actually get to spend my day.
