On Monday, the snow began falling. It wasn't the big, heavy flakes that I usually think of when I think a lot of snow is coming, but it kept snowing all day. By noon, the school sent out the notification that school would release the kids two hours early and they would plan on at least a two-hour delay for Tuesday's start. And, the snow kept falling. 
By five, Gary had the boys on a sled tied to the four-wheeler and began pulling them around the Forest Service Compound. They LOVED every minute of it. Once I got outside, all four boys were in the sled together and Gary and I were on the four wheeler. And, the snow kept falling.
By 6:00, it was getting dark and colder and we really needed to feed the kids, so we came in and began the process of undressing four soaking wet and cold boys. This is what the fireplace will look like all winter I'm guessing. And, the snow kept falling.
By Tuesday morning, school was cancelled and Tom's prayers were answered. He had been praying for snow for days and not just a little bit of snow - lots and lots of snow. It finally quit snowing and we were left with about 18 inches of beautiful snow. Before it started on Monday, we had NOTHING, zip, zilch, nada. Now, we look like a winter wonderland.
