Snowmageddon!

I can't remember ever having this much snow in Rockford! We got about 15 inches of snow on Tuesday and Wednesday. Combined with the snow that was already on the ground, we were completely snowed in Wednesday morning! School was cancelled on Wednesday because of the blizzard and also today (Thursday) because of temperatures below zero. Even City Hall closed on Wednesday so Nate, Alaina, and I were able to have some quality family time at home. Nate spent almost 2 hours outside snow blowing our driveway and helping out some neighbors.

Nate's first job was to clear off the 3ft drift on our front step

Snow blowing the driveway took a long time!

Today Nate went back to work, but Alaina and I had another day at home together. Although it was very cold out today, we decided to brave the weather and take a little walk outside. Alaina put on her snow gear and ventured out into the cold! She loved walking in the snow with her new pink boots!

All suited up and ready to play in the snow!

This little cutie doesn't mind the snow

Notice how the snow comes up to Alaina's head!

"It's getting too cold out here! I'm going back inside!"

To end this post, I'd like to add a picture of one of my favorite beaches in Karpathos, Greece. It's a beautiful beach, but during Snowmageddon it looks even more fabulous! Hurry up, summer. I'm getting impatient.
