We had a beautiful white Christmas. The final snow count was somewhere around 8 inches. There was some pretty intense wind, and we lost power for about five hours. We snuggled the kids up in beds in the den where we had a fire going and while they were settling down, William and I went to the living room and played cards by candle light. The power was restored around 2:30 am and once we were able to warm the kid's rooms to a comfortable temperature, we moved them to their own beds for a good night's rest.
The problem with living in the country is that once it snows, you're stuck at home for a few days. We're hoping we'll be able to get down our driveway by Friday. William walked to the mailbox earlier and heard the state scraping the secondary road we live off of, so I'm hoping travel will be safer for those who can get out. I'm adding a level yard with paved entry to my wish-list for our next house. But it the meantime, I'll try to enjoy the beauty of the snow. And man is it beautiful!
