Snow Day, Part Deux

The snow stopped by the time we got out of the movie last night (and Point Break is still brilliant, BTW) but we are now officially snowed in. We got up early to go to our family Mandarin class and discovered our plow guy hasn't done our lane yet, and there's no way we're getting the car out any time soon.

On the positive side, because it was the golden hour when I was checking the lane, everything was pretty and I couldn't resist taking a few pictures. Staring with the street leading to our lane.

Here's the view from the front of our house.

And here's the lane way from right in front of our garage. I'm just hoping it gets plowed before I've got to take Ros to rock climbing tomorrow morning.

In other news, four weeks today we leave to China! Aiiieee!

Well that looks like 'fun'! We have had snow over here but not, so far, that much in our area. I think the east side of the country was hit worse. We have snow forecast for tonight and I've planned to go out so all my fingers are crossed. I hope you get to the rock climbing!

It actually is sort of fun. Well, not the slogging through snow drifts and not being able to get the car out part. But the snow day off and going tobogganing on a gorgeous sunny day part is. But then we've got the infrastructure to deal with the snow, mostly.

I hope you don't get too badly, though. Just enough that your grandkidlet has a bit to play in.

He has already done some snowman building and snowball throwing this year so I think he'll survive the fact that the snow seems to have decided to give us a miss. I'm back from my evening out and the worst that happened was an attempt to rain - just enough to need the windscreen wipers occasionally but not enough to really say it was raining! However, it was very very cold - maybe too cold to snow!
