First Snow's a Blizzard

And who said we wouldn't have a white Christmas??  Though it seemed we were heading in that direction, we finally got our first real snow storm of the winter season, and just in the nick of time.  It's been declared a blizzard, and for sure it will be sticking around for Christmas.  It would be unlikely for 9 inches of snow to disappear in 5 days.

Most schools in Iowa have been cancelled today, and Molly has enjoyed her first snow day of her academic career.  Emma, not so much.  We were all excited to hit the fluffy white stuff this morning, but once we were out there, Emma figured out it wasn't so easy to move around, and that pretty much ended the fun for her.
