Baby, it's cold outside! 11 degrees, to be exact.  I'm going on snow day #3, and have thoroughly enjoyed my extra long weekend.  We have played in the snow, baked Christmas cookies, got our Christmas tree, decorated the house, watched a few movies (some good, some bad) and relaxed (a lot).  Yesterday we went to my in-laws house, and I was stunned with the beauty of where they live.  I'm also lucky to say that in the next year we will be buying their house and moving back to my husband's childhood home.  I'm looking forward to waking up to this view every day....

I know that half of the country is covered in snow, and some lucky people are still enjoying the warm weather.  I thought it would be fun to see what it looks like where you are.....

    I have no pictures of the view from my house. It's boring and we are cold, but no snow or anything pretty. Just blah.

  • Not a good pic, but oh well.  My view right now onto the deck.  We do a lot of woodworking projects on the deck and typically have a canopy tent protecting the projects.  Well, not anymore.  The ice Sunday night collapsed the tent.  Oops.

    “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
    "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."

  • I should go take a picture, but today when I took the boys out to take Izey to school, the neighbor's hose had ruptured- maybe water froze and it expanded and busted it? I have no idea... but anyway, it was coming out like a sprinkler and obviously had been at least over night, maybe longer because there was seriously 5-6 inches of ice on everything in the shooting range of the hose, which was probably like 10-15 feet. It was seriously impressive. I'm sure their water bill will be impressive too :-/

    I told my neighbor and he came out to look at it and said the longest string of cuss words I've ever heard. He's at least 85 years old. It was delightful.

  • Here's the view from my balcony. I'm just down the street from the last apartment I rented at this place 8 years ago. It's been snowing since 9:30.
