Blizzard Day 4


Dad and Will built a sledding ramp together.  Will really lives for these kind of projects so it was nice to see Dad out there working on it with him.  They made a decent sledding track yesterday, but today, they added a jump and an ending ramp so no one crashes into a tree.  



Little Miss Daredevil was all about the speed and air.











Wonder where she gets it from?



The kids just love it when Dad plays with them.  I'm betting everyone will sleep well tonight.  The kids played out there for more than 3 hours.  We still haven't seen a real plow yet.  Our neighbor, who plows for a side job, plowed our street but not the other parts of the neighborhood.  It's still very dicey out there.

Blizzard Jonas of 2016



Well, Winter came.  All at once.  We have between 2 and 3 feet of snow and no snow plows to be seen.  It started snowing on Friday at 10am and snowed until Sunday morning.  Like really, really hard snow.  









It was super windy, too, so there are a lot of drifts that are simply not manageable.  The driveway was like a field of rolling hills.







It is very powdery snow, so it was nice for sledding but not for snowman making.  







The kids taught Tank the command "dig" and she helped them make a ton of igloos out of the mounds of shoveled snow in the driveway.





We went for a walk to see the main road.   There wasn't much to see.  It's still there, but barely.











These pictures aren't really in order.  The clear day was Sunday. The blizzard crazy snow days were Friday and Saturday.  We went out at least 2 times a day.
