Winter Is Here! We have had some terrible weather! It all started on December 20. We had rain - then ice - trees snapped, branches everywhere. Then we had a dusting of snow. The roads were terrible! School was closed for three days and there were numerous other closings. One week later, we get snow dumped on us. Below are some photos from around our house, but it's much worse than it looks. My husband couldn't even get out of the driveway - it took a long time to make it out so he could get to work. The Sheriff told everyone to stay off of the highways. Some highways were even closed. My parents couldn't even get out of their driveway. Churches even cancelled services for Sunday!
If it keeps up, we might have to build an igloo!
If I knew how to ski, I'd have a blast. A sleigh would be really handy about now. They are calling for more snow tonight.

The kids wanted to go sledding and build a snowman so bad - it finally snows enough and where are they? Colorado!! They went with their Dad to go skiing. Funny how that works, huh?



We could have a snowball fight! Anyone game? LOL - Come on over to Nebraska.

The ice, snow and storms lasted for about 7 weeks. Now things are pretty well melted and we are getting some mild weather. Other parts of the state are still experiencing snow storms. I am so ready for spring!
