This is the view down my driveway. Yes, I live all the way at the end and around the corner (it's 1/3 of a mile from the main road). In fact it's such a pain to get in and out of the end of the driveway, closest to my house, that I had to borrow my moms car to go feed my animals today. There was no way my car was going to make it without chains.
I love watching the snow, but mother nature seems to be confused this week. This is not the way it's supposed to snow around here. We don't usually get tons of snow at one time and our county just doesn't have the equipment to deal with all this snow. What usually happens is it snows one day and the next day it warms up and rains and all the snow is gone. We get to see the snow and enjoy it for the day and the next day get on with our lives. Well that's not what happened this time! The poor people in olympia (about an hour from us) have over 2 feet of snow that fell in 2 days! They have roofs collapsing due to the weight of the snow, trees coming down, and no power! Thankfully, knock on wood, we have power. But it's still cold as heck. The horses have their winter blankets on, so they're nice and warm, but still have ice hanging off the bottom of the blankets and their manes.
Looks like the kids will be going to school a little longer in June. My son's school has been closed for two days and it wouldn't surprise me if they were closed again tomorrow. Thankfully I gave us a week buffer between the last day of school and our vacation to DC this summer!
