Holy cow! I can't remember the last time we had a storm like that at our house. I woke up at 8:30 and it had been snowing awhile. There was already a decent build up. And it just kept snowing! ALL DAY!! Never snowed real hard, it just never stopped.
Here is my cute husband out building a fort with our children (who LOVED all the snow by the way). This morning you can't even see a hit of where the fort was. It's buried.
DJ is covered from head to toe! I think he just rolled in it.
Poor doggy. It was way over his head, but he was determined to be outside with everyone else. Lucky Lindsie put his green sweater on him or we might never have found him. See the Merry Christmas sign next to Joey? Can't find it this morning.
Here's another one who rolled in it. He could barely walk. In some places he sunk down above his knees.
This morning I took a ruler out to our back porch. Can you find the ruler? You can see just the tip of it. That's TWELVE INCHES of snow!! Keep in mind that Dean had cleared the back porch at 2:00 and again at 4:00. About 2 inches each time. At that point he gave up on the back porch and just tried to keep the front cleared. We got over 16 inches from one storm. My kids are in heaven. They were really hoping for a snow day.

When we got to school at 8:40, none of the parking lots were cleared. The drop off area had several stuck cars, so they had to close it off. Everyone was parking in the street, including teachers. Kids were being dropped off in the street. Buses got stuck on the way to school. Even they ended up dropping the kids off in the street. What a mess! Really wish they had called for a late start and given some time for everything to get plowed.
Despite all that, the snow is so much fun! You'd have thought it snowed inside my classroom by the time 25 kids came in with all that snow on their boots. It was just a fun day!

Boy, you guys got pounded! So far, knock on wood, quickly, we have had no snow, just cold.
I was afraid you were going to say that ruler poking out the top of the snow was Jarod buried in the snow! It was a great storm (unless you were shoveling with a shovel, or a school teacher).
When are you doing to update this thing? ;D
