Old Fashioned Blizzard!

Yesterday morning I emailed a friend in Alaska to say that although 10" glorious inches of snow was predicted we had only received three. Well, I just had to wait! We got over 17" total and the wind was howling! Our chicken coop is now snow-sheltered three feet up the sides! After breaking our backs shoveling yesterday I got up early to dig out the car and rake the roof. The sun is shining and we just returned from several hours of snow-shoeing, sledding and general winter playing. Glorious weather!
