Surfs Up

Who needs an ocean? Logan is surfing our snow covered driveway at this very moment. Ben is patiently (?) waiting his turn. Today is gorgeous. A couple of inches of snow have fallen on top of the ice, so driving is treacherous and very few people are on the road. It's quiet and peaceful. No school for the second day in a row. On snow days we can't go anywhere, and we just hunker down, play board games, watch TV, play with the dogs, read, and eat cozy food.

Here's yesterday's dire forecast that resulted in today's winter wonderland:

TONIGHT.
