    I don't really know how much we've gotten here, but it's a lot.

    The view out of my back door

    I think the cars look like funny bugs with their wipers in the air

    Okay, Zen, I sent the patio table pictures (noon, 2:20, 4:30) to Channel 4.

    Of course, I'm now watching Channel 7...

    Oh, pumpkin bread is done!

    Okay...I'll play.
    Here's our patio set, covered in snow!!


    And my truck, buried (optimistic with the kayak holders still on the roof!):


    I haven't taken a ruler to the table, but that's about 20", I'd say.

    Cross country skiing this a.m. was fair. I stuck to the neighborhood streets, and the asphalt tends to hold a lot of heat, so there wasn't much glide. But it's a sure-fire conversation starter with neighbors I rarely see, much less talk to. Lots of folks out with their kids, sledding, and lots of snow shovelling going on.... Not much biking, however.

    So far I'd say that your table is the winner!

    Lest you all think I'm a mean Mommy... he does have a stall to go into, and a waterproof blanket!

    And it is STILL snowing.

    Well....
    That's not a terribly useful place for your snow plow on a day like today!

    OK, I'm ticked. Channel 4 apparently thought the snow was so interesting that they pre-empted the Kona Ironman Triathlon show so they could talk about snow. That's ridiculous.
