The pictures are of the front of the house. Doug left the snow so that I could get a picture of the kids. Right after taking the picture, Andrew pushed Felix into the snowpile and then Felix pushed Megan into the snowpile.
Blizzard is a strong word, but then again so was the wind with this storm. It was the perfect day to stay home and sew. The storm started on Saturday night as we were coming out of Texas Road House, the wind was unreal. Megan and I had run all of our errands during the afternoon. Coming out of Walmart we couldn't believe how much the temperature had dropped.
I woke up at 5:30am because of the wind and like a little kid I had to immediately go and see what the storm had to offer, which was just basically wind. I decided I would go downstairs and get started on my quilting, when I went to shut the door to the boy's room, so I wouldn't wake Felix. (Andrew was staying at a friends). I saw Felix wasn't there! I FREAKED!! Ran upstairs and woke up Doug. He informed me that he had talked to Felix last night after I fell asleep. That's the second time this has happened. Pretty soon, Doug is going to figure out that he needs to put a sign on our door letting me know.
By mid morning the storm was in full force and we couldn't see the houses across the lake. I took pictures, but you really can't see anything other than snow! Then, the temperature continued to drop. We got to -41 degree with the windchill. Doug went out and blew the snow so he could go get the boys. GUESS whose vehicle he took????? He always calls my hummer a toy truck, but when the weather and roads are bad...he takes the toy truck...Because it's a REAL truck!!!
School for the kids was canceled by 6:00 tonight, the kids aren't complaining!! But, it was a good night for chili and a game of UNO with Megan. The boys must have had a good time at their friends last night because they were in bed by 8:30 and since I am writing this they didn't get up until 1:30 p.m. today.
Stay Warm! It's a cold on here in North Dakota! Current Temperature -11 degree F.
