Enough Winter Already!

Now, I've been known to pray for snow. I always want a white Christmas. But I never pray for any snow after January 1st. It's silly, but I only want snow for the holidays and then it can stay away until next year.

The East Coast has gotten slammed during the month of January with one major storm after another. My girls have been out of school this month almost as much as they have been in. Here are a few photos of what it looks like around here:

This is our front yard after the second major snow storm during the week of January 17th. We have added at least another 8 inches of snow since then. My girls had 2 snow days that week and 1 this past week.

The nice thing about our property is that we have our own hill for sledding. It's getting a lot of use this year.

I had cleared some of the snow off the deck in between storms, but this is what is out there right now. Gee, I hope it doesn't collapse under the weight.

I hear the next storm is headed our way Tuesday night into Wednesday. I have a feeling the girls will be home again if things play out the way they have so far this winter. Calgon, take me away!
