Snow and more snow!

It has been almost three weeks now that we have had snow and cold weather.  I haven't seen the thememoter above thirty-four in all this time and I am more than ready for a change.  It started to snow again today around four and we now have three or more new inches of snow.  During the winter break from school it was nice for a few days to have a reason to huddle around the fireplace, sled with neighbors and just enjoy the quiet, but life does need to go on.  The beauty of the snow quickly turns to the trouble of the getting around with slush and ice everywhere not to mention the making up on missed school days in June when the sun could be shinning.
