Still Snowing

I am just loving this storm. It's hard to tell how deep the snow is from the pictures without someone standing in the snow, but trust me, it's deep. I just walked Ozzy and a few times he became lost in the snow drifts. He actually did his business standing up! The snow plows have yet to come through. No biggie though. Truthfully, no one is going anywhere anytime soon. Even Rick's office closed today. In his almost 40 years practicing law he has never had a snow day. Sophia was super excited to have a snow day until she found out that she would have to go to school an extra day at the end of the year to make up for it. She was not happy about that. And it is so cold and windy that the kids can't even play in the snow. Just too dangerous. I was only 2 years old when Chicago was hit with the snowstorm of 1967. However, I remember my brother Joe opening the door and the snow was taller than me. Today I walked through some drifts that were up to my behind. While I am only 5'3" that's still a lot of snow! I took a few pictures, nothing too exciting.
