Snow on snow on snow

Delaware winters are generally mild. We get the occasional snow storm -- a few inches that close everything (we love that!). This winter has seemed cold to me – we've been spoiled the last couple of years with especially mild temperatures. I've felt anxious for Spring to arrive – and when our furnace started making a strange noise last week – I was really really anxious for warm weather to get here. Not to worry a little WD-40 in the right spot and Barry fixed the strange noise, but we are worried about how many seasons our dinosaur of a furnace has left in it!

The funny thing is I had just told Francesca the saying, "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." This morning she's been singing it to her own little melody – it's been prophetic. We had our very own Nor'easter come in Sunday night and this morning it's still snowing. So far we've got over 9 inches (and that's just the ruler stuck in the yard – so I don't know the official measurement – we've had blowing and drifting too). Tori's mad because her school was already scheduled off – but it's worked out great as far as we're concerned because Barry is off on Mondays!! We may go sledding this afternoon – I'll post more pics if we do.

BTW: I love the song – "In the deep mid-winter" my title is inspired by it – some time I'll learn how to rip a track to play with my page – in the mean time if you know song you can hum a few bars!! J
