15 minutes in 3 hours



On Thursday the first "real" snow of the season fell. First time since I've been in the States that I've seen this much snow fall before January - 10 inches. The whole State came to a standstill. I left our house as soon as the first flakes started to fall to pick Keeva up from school -normally a 30 minute round trip journey - this day it took almost 3 hours. According to the media there were kids on school buses that they couldn't locate....some of whom didn't get home until 11pm at night........can you imagine? Poor kids, I was stir crazy for my 'short' trip but almost 8 hours on a school bus......I'd hate to have been the parent of one of those children. All I can ask is how can that happen when they knew this snow was coming for days in advance........bureaucracy !!!!


The excitement of the snow falling had definitley worn off at this stage.....

Although our entry way looks cute with all that snow.....really adds to the Christmas feeling.....

Ahhhhhh.......all this snow, lets go Dad !
