I don't even know but I measured 24 inches at 1:00 and it's been snowing ever since. Blain walked out to the well house around dark and he said it was up to his uh...crotch...so that should be about 29 inches according to his inseam!! Oh, go ahead and laugh. It IS funny. I've been without power since about 3 this am. We have a generator, I just hope the fuel holds out. We can't run the whole house on it, so you have to unplug everything to run water...and Blain won't turn the hot water heater on...so we have to heat it. I'm heating it on my cookstove on the backporch. I think it is about 83 degrees in here. If he don't shut the draft on the stove downstairs, I'm going to open windows. Oh, I called the power co. to report my outage and they gave me an estimated time that my power would be restored. Dec 25, Midnight. Are they Crazy??? I haven't even finished Christmas shopping. Ya'll stay warm.

Well, I'm not sure how much we got but it snowed up past the bottom of Mark's truck door this morning. And the poor little pony is out to pasture by herself haha. It has started snowing again, a neighbor told Mark we may get up to 6 more inches tonight. Rita, how much snow did you get on top of the mountain?

 

 

Okay, Enough already!! I'd take more pics but I can't walk in this stuff. Don't forget to call around and check on your neighbors.

Addy, we love the video. Paul just needed to be out there with the laser that way the howling would add to the playful feeling lol!! However, it looks like the snow was almost over them so I don't know that they would have seen it :) The last two pics are just 3 1/2 hours after the snow started falling this evening. The first pic is the snow drift we had outside our front door when we got home from mom and dads tonight. We went out to walmart and Mark played in the snow a little with the truck, it was nice. I believe we will be having a white Christmas this year!!

Now THIS is what winter should look like!

Let it snow, Baby!

Well, we aren't going anywhere for a while! We have eight inches now...probably not going to get any better. Paul just said that the Fire Dept. is taking kids home in Raleigh County...at 9pm. I bet they are wishing they would have let out early! I just think that God has a real sense of humor to send a storm like this on a Friday evening instead of a Monday morning:) Love to all. Stay warm!

Here is our Christmas tree. I am sooo excited for Christmas! Zac and I had our last finals today so we're done until January 11. Can't wait to see you all in a couple of weeks!

Monica~ They have only opened a couple of small things from their stocking...the deer has been around for a while! I am not sure who is more excited about Christmas morning, them or me about watching them! You just wait!
