Snowed In

We have been officially "snowed in" by Anderson County standards...OK, compared to our NY winters, this is just a typical January snowstorm, but the whole county and surrounding areas had come to a complete standstill. I am assuming the town doesn't even own a plow, since I haven't seen one pass by since the snow started falling three days ago. Luis's work has been closed for two days, and the kids have been home from school all week. They have already announced that schools will be closed again tomorrow, as they are expecting a second storm to pass through the area tonight. As expected, the kids have been in their glory outside, using my laundry basket for a sled and having snowball fights. This is the most snow Luis has ever seen, and I think he has cabin fever already. I have only ventured out twice with the kids. It's been so cold that I haven't brought Lily in the snow yet. She stands at the back door and watches her brothers through the glass. We woke up this morning to a thin layer of ice on everything. So pretty to look at, but I am looking forward to the 50 degree weather coming next week.
