Day 13 of 366

So, you saw what it looked like yesterday. Today it looks totally different. I opened the blinds this morning at 7:30 while my oldest 2 were eating breakfast. The grass was still green. When we headed about about 20 minutes later, it was completely white. We did the shuffle down to the bus stop (it had rained all night, so there was slush under the snow making it slick), and waited for the bus. By the time I came back to the house (about 20 minutes later), you couldn't even see the girls' tracks in the snow (see the first image). By 8:50 (school starts at 8:45 here), we got the call that school had been called and they would be getting off at 11:30. It took the oldest about an hour to get home. Middle child took about 90 minutes to get home. Normally the rides home for the kids are 30-45 minutes long.
The second image is one I just took (around 4pm). The weather gurus are guessing that we have about 6.9 inches of white stuff with another 3-5 inches to come. Add into that, we have been getting some really good wind gust so I couldn't see the mailboxes from our house (only about 3 houses down).
