First snow storm of 2009

Today was the first major snow storm of the season. The snow started earlier this morning and by lunch the roads were covered and pretty slippery. There were accidents everywhere. North of town got hit hard, again. We only got about 3 inches of snow today which is just about perfect. While sitting at work today I thought for sure the girls would get out of school early a lot of area schools did. They didn't.

We now have to deal with frigid temperatures. The high tomorrow is supposed to be 8 with a -3 wind chill. Not as cold as some of my friends in MN and WI but cold enough for me.

The girls played outside after school today for about an hour. When we got home, they helped Ron shovel the driveway and sidewalks. The snow was not wet, just light and fluffy! Once they got inside they stripped down, put on their jammies, and drank some hot chocolate to warm up.

The pictures are a little dark. It was getting dark when I took the pictures and I didn't want to take the time to change the settings because the camera was getting wet.

This was my (or Craig's) sled when we were little.
