Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Well, our little snowstorm is actually a major blizzard. Practically the whole state is shut down! The interstate from Denver to New Mexico is closed, most major roads in town even are closed. And of course, they are all closed around us. So, even if we were going somewhere, it would be very difficult! But, there is no way we are going anywhere. Hubby made it to work this morning, but came home about 11am. Which was a good thing because that is about the time the town started to shut down. The local government was asking all businesses to close. And most of them did. Colorado Springs, and El Paso county and the state of Colorado have all declared a State of Emergency.

I just let the dogs out, the neighbor across the street has about a 4 foot drift at the end of his driveway. We have 4 cars stuck right by our house, they were not able to make it up the hill the rest of the way to the rest of the neighborhood.

The wind is so bad that all our deck furniture has blown to one corner of the deck. We don’t have light furniture! And the deck is clear of snow because of the wind. But we have some drifts that are at least 4 foot high. And this is supposed to continue through tomorrow morning.

Needless to say, we didn’t take Courtney to the doctor, or for her pictures. She is now supposed to go to the doctor’s office on Friday.

Bristol LOVES the snow. He loves to go out and bound through the snowdrifts. He comes in looking like a snow dog, covered nose to tail! Maggie doesn’t like the cold or snow but she will chase Bristol in the yard. And Buddy really doesn’t like it. He goes out, does his business as fast as possible and then runs back in.

The wind is just fierce! I heard it start about 3am. When I got up at 4am to make a bottle it was just starting to snow. I know when I looked out the kitchen window about 7:45am, I still saw grass and street. Then about an hour later, everything was covered! I really am not sure how much snow we got due to all the wind. Hubby says he thinks we got a foot to foot and a half! I don’t think anyone is going anywhere fast tomorrow either. We are pretty much stuck for a little bit. The news said this storm is better than the last time because the wind is blowing snow off trees and power lines so there have been no power outages this time. But it’s worse visibility due to the wind also. I certainly am loving it! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!!! It’s supposed to continue through tomorrow morning! I hope so!!!
