More Snow? Enough Already!

Though I think the ski resorts would disagree with me, I wish the snow would stop! Okay, not completely, we need the moisture as we do live in a desert here but I would like it to stop until the road in front of our house is clear. We had 6 inches or so of snow when we woke up this morning. My husband was kind enough to snowblow it off our driveway and sidewalk before he went to work. The main problem is the 3-4 inches of ice under the 6 inches or so of snow. The road was finally starting to show through the ice and snow and we get dumped on again. I wouldn't mind snow so much if it would snow on the lawns and mountains and stay off the road. I know its not possible or even plasable but it would make me feel better. Okay. Thanks for listening to my rant. And hey, if you get the chance, the skiing is great!

Christmas Day

In our house, the tradition is the children can get into their stockings and play with anything in there. The gifts have to wait until mom and dad get up. The children don't know any other way so it works for us. We usually wait until my mom and dad come and then head over to the inlaws. Because of the great snow storm we received on Christmas, my parents decided not to come and to see us at a later date. My inlaws called to say they would stop by on their way home from seeing Grandma. They never showed up. After 3:30pm, my father-in-law called to say one of his daughters had come to his house and were we going to come today or what! What the . . . ? Whatever. So we went to inlaws. We had a light supper there, gave our gifts to the inlaws. After a while, we decided to head to my parents house because my husband was really excited to give them what we got for them. It wasn't so bad going to my parents house but coming home was actually scary. The snow pack was so bad. We got stuck turning from the main street into our cul-de-sac. All I have to say is thank goodness for my husband and the snowblower.
