Snow Day!

Jia's school called a snow day today. I had the feeling they might when the city told all the plows to go home on Saturday because their efforts were fruitless! What a storm! The Metrodome roof (where the Vikings play) collapsed too! The video is here.

I tried to explain the significance of a snow day to Jia. It is rare to have one! With almost two feet of snow and a windchill of 22 below, we do!

I took this pic yesterday when it was warmer. The snow is nearly as high as the swings and almost covers the slide!

We went to my parents' house for a tree decorating party yesterday. We all had a great time.

Looking at the tree with special glasses that make the lights look like gingerbread cookies and candy canes! Amazing!

Crazy snow up there! We had three inches Sunday and school was called off today. Few plows to do anything but state highways and interstates around here, and silly people just don't know how to drive on 3 inches of snow. Love the frosty pics!
