Lately, it has been a warmer Minnesota winter, but yesterday we were slowly welcomed to the beginnings of spring. Thank goodness it is coming! After going ice fishing last weekend, which I will have to update everyone on, yesterday was every little kid's dream. Schools closed in anticipation of the 10 inches we were supposed to get, wich began "dumping" around noon. (For all you southerner's dumping means to snow a lot to us northerners.) While I think it ended up being only about 8 inches, it was still A LOT of the powery white stuff. Casey had a blast shoveling the driveway, since he couldn't even make it into the garage with his jeep. I am so thankful I had to work a little bit later than him!!
Later on, we were watching the news, to see if we could expect any more snow in the forcast, and they began talking about being "heart healthy" while shoveling the snow. Apparently yesterday's snowfall was a very wet one. The snow contained about a 4 to 1 ratio of air to water. They did a very scientific test on Karr 11 and figured that a mere 6 inches of snow, was equivelent to receiving an inch and a half of rain! That's what we have to shovel off the driveway. How do people get fat up here?? And the next morning I remember because I am awoken to the sound of our neighbor's snow blower.
Only 19 more days.....(for me anyways)....until warmth and family!
