So much snow…in March

We have had some crazy weather….All day at school on Monday, we kept talking about how it looked like it was going to snow and how cold it was.  We checked the weather several times and it didn’t say anything about snow!  Well, Monday night it started snowing (then the winter weather advisory was issued).  It was coming down fast and it wasn’t stopping anytime soon.  It was a very wet snow.

We ended up with 8 inches at our house.  Crazy for March and that much snow near the coast.  Needless to say, school was canceled.  Because the snow was so wet and everything is super saturated, TONS of trees and power lines were down.  Most major roads were closed.  It took Jake over 30 minutes to get to work.  We lost power for about 12 hours.

I was excited to get out and play in it and so was Callie Beth.  I thought it would be best to wait till Ben went down for a nap.  It was so deep, I think he would have hated it.  Good thing, because Callie Beth didn’t like it so much.  It was hard to walk in.  We tried sledding but I’d have to carry her back up the hill every time which was tiring.
