Snow!

Wow!  Dad emailed me some pictures of their house this morning.  They already have 13 inches and it's still coming down.  I don't think it's snowed that much since I was in elementary school!  Part of me wishes I had driven up after work yesterday.  I really hope it snows just a tiny bit next week when I'm up there.  Just a little...

My little bro and I used to run out and sit on all the snow-covered deck furniture.
Then we'd grab armloads of snow off the railing and start hurling it at each other.

I have no idea why that was so much fun.
What?  That's crazy talk, of course I do.
Stu, if it's snowing on Thursday, you'd better believe I'll have a snowball with your name on it!

Mom's car is under there somewhere.

Yes, I grew up in the middle of nowhere.

It looks super cozy, but they probably don't have electricity at the moment, and there is no way they are getting off the mountain for a couple of days.

Ah, the good ol' days of being the only kid in school who did not look forward to snow days.
