Yay! More Snow!

Over the last 48 hours we have had a winter weather watch in place, yesterday was pretty tame and we only had about an inch or so by the time I ran the afternoon school pick up, the roads were ok bar the odd ice spot but nothing for Colorado.

We woke up this morning to a text from the school that school was cancelled due to snow, Ethan's respond was "WHAAAT, its hardly snowed at all".... apparently he didn't look well as we got up to around 6-7" and it just kept on snowing! We spent the morning huddled indoors making flapjacks and watching TV. Around lunchtime we decided to pop up to The Village Inn for lunch which is an American Diner at the top of the road, we took Nics Jeep and its pretty capable in the snow- by this time we had just under a foot and as the side roads aren't ploughed it's so crazy in certain areas. After a yummy lunch we came home and Ethan, Myself and the dogs set off to burn off some of our lunchtime food. Ethan loves to be pulled along in his sled, sadly my dogs are rubbish and won't pull so its left to me to pull him. We walked to the park and spent a while playing there, after a bit Boo started shivering and not wanting him to be cold we headed back home to warm up and dry off. Its so odd as in the UK on a snow day the park would be totally crazy busy with all the kids off school, not so here in Colorado- we were the only ones at the park and judging by the total untouched powder, the only ones there since snow began!

We love the snow here- its finally stopped snowing at just over a foot. Its gorgeous and thick and pretty darn cold! Even though it causes issues I just adore the snow! Tomorrow all will be back to normal I am sure, Nic will be back at work, clubs will be back on and I suspect schools will be back on as normal too.

Snow Days ROCK!


Deep huh Hoaxey!

Fresh powder Park Fun!
