It Sure Is Pretty, BUT

 When it started snowing on Sunday we already had at least six inches (15.24 cm).  Today they are officially saying that we got 11.54 inches (29 cm) more!  China and I shoveled and shoveled and shoveled.  It snowed for nine consecutive hours!

 It's so pretty today, but I'm wondering if I can get my car out of the garage or if I should even try.  With the wind chill it is -35 F (-37 C).  We went out and shoveled briefly and my fingers went numb (with two pairs of gloves on!)  This also means we can't go see Matt and I'm at home with kids I really wish were in school!
