The snow is ridiculous

Not much else to do today but blog, since the whole state is pretty much shut down due to insane amounts of snow received in the last week. I already reported we received 12-18 inches last weekend. Well, it started snowing again Wednesday night and pretty much did not stop until sometime in the middle of last night. AND we're expected to receive 1-2 inches more. Oh, what's another 1-2 inches when you already have over 3 FEET on the ground?!

It's too bad for Andrew that he works from home or he might have been able to get away with a snow day like the rest of the state. In fact, like the entire Midwest. My mom and Dave were without power in Iowa for 76 hours starting last Friday night. They were supposed to come up this weekend to celebrate my Grandma's birthday but since the highways are actually closed (yes, it's actually illegal to drive on them, punishable by spending up to 90 days in jail, plus extra costs and punishment if you get stuck and emergency crews have to come save you).

We're all going a bit stir crazy as we like to get out once a day and haven't done anything fun since our Tuesday playdate with Jody and Ari. Here's to hoping the snow stops and the sun comes out and melts it all away.
