We are, for all intents and purposes, snowed in today. Even the courthouse is closed and, other than today, that's happened ONE time in the last 25 years. The chief judge made the call around 7AM that we were going to be open, but after trying to drive to work himself (go figure), he decided the courts should close. For that, I am thankful. As you can see above, even though my Vue has all wheel drive, there's no way she's making it out of our driveway. When the plows are getting stuck and the bridges are being shut down, you know it's best to just stay home!
I tried to take a peek out of our bedroom window this morning and couldn't see because snow had caked it from top to bottom. I knew that was a bad sign. Thankfully, we still have power! I couldn't imagine being stuck in the house all day, freezing our patooties off and trying to think of ways to amuse ourselves! It started snowing yesterday and just hasn't quit... Even as I type there are flurries dancing down to the ground.
But, what did I find myself doing just a few hours after waking up? Putting my boots, gloves, scarf and hat on to go schlep frolic outside with my dogs and take some pictures. You've got to document days like today because even here in Michigan, there aren't many times we get snow like this!
{ Mabel, our smallest dog, could barely see over the drift! }
{ The snow from the left side pretty much all drifted right. }
{ Our front porch usually stays pretty well hidden from the elements. Not today! }
{ We also used to have front steps. Not today, either! }
I hope that if you're outside, you're being safe. Be prepared for slow, long trips in the car and bundle up!
