S.O.M.G

The snow is over. They say we got about 16 inches, but some of the drifts were well over 5 feet. The kids had a blast. Neighbors all helped each other out. The sun came out in the afternoon and actually brought some warmth.

Won't last long as the temps are plummeting, and school will be out for a 2nd day tomorrow.
