I can't remember the last time I experienced a true blizzard but the last couple of days have been the real deal.
We have around 16 inches of snow but wind with gusts up to 50 mph has created drifts 10 feet tall and it was literally impossible to get out with a car yesterday.
Nancy and I walked to work and it was an adventure. We actually came home early because we weren't sure we would be able to get through the drifts.
Last night after the wind died down, I use the snow blower to get the driveway and sidewalks cleared. I also blew a path to the school so it should be an easy walk over this morning.
School was canceled yesterday and today. I wonder if we will even have it tomorrow. There is a lot to get cleaned up.
The kids are just hanging out at home, there isn't much else they can do.
I will take some pictures today and get them posted.
Off to start.

Can Molly and Emma pull a dog sled?
We have a big snow storm on the way. It looks like 8-12 inches of snow with winds up to 45 mph. I think there is a strong possibility that we will get out of school early today and probably not have school tomorrow.
Drew had a marathon of basketball games at the end of the week last week. They played Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning. He was pretty beat up and tired Saturday afternoon. The other tough part of it was three of those games were away and two of the away games were over an hour away.
He played well. Not much scoring but plays good defense and does a good job getting the ball to the open player.
Jess went to the University of Northern Iowa last weekend. The visit went really well. She was really impressed with the facilities and the team. She really liked the coach and felt comfortable with the thought of going there. They offered her a 75% scholarship and if she runs 56.6 this year it would be 100%. That is big money so we will have to see what Iowa State offers.'
I hope the decision is made by Christmas.
Work has been a little busy this week but with the anticipated snow days coming up, I am guessing it will slow down considerably.
Ok, off to start.
