Maybe alittle more than a few inches

(This was the snow that had fallen as of Tuesday afternoon...nothing too special)

Okay so last post I said that we had gotten a just a few inches of snow on Tuesday...well that few turned into almost 10 inches. It just kept snowing and snowing all day on Tuesday. Well then sometime during the night the wind decided to really pick up. So, this morning we woke up to snow drift heaven. We had snow drifts in our front yard/patio area that were about 3 feet tall. There was snow everywhere. It was one big snow drift from the hood of our cars to our front door. CRAZY! Luckily we have a few steps to go up to our front door so that we didn't get trapped inside. But it was another crazy day here in Omaha with the snow and wind and ice. (it was alittle amusing to see people try to dig out their cars. My poor neighbor and their Mini Cooper. Not a car for the snow is all I can say!)

Here is a look at how things were Wednesday afternoon. Of course after a few hours of digging out any sign of a sidewalk and a road. And also a little video of the amount of snow. Notice the difference from the first picture to this video. Lots of snow!

School was cancelled for the 2nd day in a row and it is also cancelled tomorrow because of the difficulty in snow removal. The sun was out all day today but it was too dang cold to melt any of the snow. The high was a temperature of 7 but then you add in the windchill and for the most part of the day, the temperature had a feel of -20. FREEZING!!!

Just alittle playdough to entertain the kids for maybe 30 minutes. That was until Jantsen decided to spell out his whole name with "snakes". Making little snakes with playdough was always one of my favorite things to do. Leave it to Jantsen to involve school and learning with simple snake making though! (and yes he is in his "running" shirt and shorts. The kid loves that outfit! If only he would refer to it as the Brazilian National Soccer Uniform)

We spent most of the day inside until about 3:30 when I was about to go crazy with being cooped up. We went out for about 30 minutes and let the kids run wild and to get some fun pictures of our crazy snow.

The little snow bunny! Her cheeks and nose were so red and this was only after about 15 minutes! (I think she took a bite out of this snow chunk after I took this picture too)

The snow mountain climber. He did get stuck once and his boot almost came off...he was buried up to his waist.

The fearless snow remover! Doesn't he look so tough with his shovel!

And alas, a belly picture! For all you who have just been dying to see one. Here you go! 5 weeks to go people...only 5 more weeks!!
