Slip Slidin Away, The Blizzard of '08



Okay, it's probably not a blizzard by some people's standards but here in our neck of the woods, it's a welcome snowstorm! The kids are loving it. We've had about 6 inches so far and it's still coming down. It started last night with an ice storm. I was out delivering pizzas and going very, very slow. It was like a skating rink on the roads. Today, we woke up to the snow! Nate rode his bike on his paper route (I only fell 3 times dad!). Denise drove the truck. Church was canceled. We spent the day relaxing and shoveling and enjoying our time. A six-foot mound in our driveway turned into a snow cave. Nate's threatening to sleep in there tonight (he has Klondike Derby in a few weeks). Snowfall like this doesn't come very often in our area. The last storm like this was 4 years ago. It's fun as long as we don't have to go anywhere because then we have to dodge the people who have no business being on the road and should be home in their Barcalounger.
