Wind Day

Yesterday the wind was blowing so hard that they canceled school. It was gusting up to about 53 miles per hour and there was so much windblown snow that you couldn't hardly see anything outside the window. One of the teachers who left for school before they got the message out even got lost in the blizzard. Luckily she was able to find a shed to warm up in and eventually found her way to the school.

Several of the snow drifts are now taller than the houses, which are even lifted above the ground several feet to begin with. Here are some pictures of all that piled up snow.

Three of us ladies from the building went to the store the other day. We pull our groceries home on the sled but this last time there was too much of a drop down to the house that we had to stop the sled and pass the groceries along to the door. 

We keep telling Chalyse we can't got to the park because it is covered in snow. As you can see the snow is about as high as the fence.
