Winter Wonderland or State of Disaster

I guess that depends on who you are asking. As for us, we kind of have mixed emotions. Thankfully everything was just little joy robbers and inconveniences verses anything too catostrophic. We didn't even lose our power like many others in the area.
First, keeping 2 toddlers cooped up anytime makes it hard, but for some reason when it's manditory it makes it worse.


Second, all the snow requires lots did I say lots lots and lots of shoveling. Thankful the neighbor let us borrow the snow blower.

Third, under all that weight of the snow


many of our trees broke. Sadly we will have less trees and the pain of removing them from the road.



Forth, we are not allowed to use water. This in itself creates a few minor inconveniences. The ensuing mound of laudry I had been procrastinating will have to continue to wait. The shower I should have taken last night, so my stinky sweaty self wouldn't reek will be further delayed and a minor issue is dishes piling up can't be rinsed off. It should be fun getting caked on oatmeal off the breakfast bowls.

Besides these minor pains the beauty is amazing. I don't think I've seen such wonder in a long time.
