Phooey on Puxatawney Phil!!!


Last week Phil, the groundhog, came out of his hole and predicted 6 more weeks of winter. Well, I think we just got 6 weeks worth just in the last 2 days. It has been snowing non-stop since early Sunday morning. The kids had a snow day yesterday, but I didn't (College stinks). Today we both have snow days. YEAH!! Last night Fred didn't get home from work until after 10:30 pm and we had to shovel over a foot of snow just so he could get the van up the driveway.


I should get the Mother of the Year award for having my children out in the snow at 11:00 pm.



Sydney making a snow body! No angels around here, there is nothing sweet and angelic about this weather.


We measured just over two feet of snow that fell on our table. (Note this table was clear last week)


The one time Fred forgot to cover his bbq. We won't be able to find his cover until it melts.

Overall, I should be grateful for the moisture because this area has been under a severe drought for the last decade, but does it have to come all at once.
