***SNOW WARNING***

Have you ever heard of that before? Me either. Not until yesterday. It has been snowing now for almost a straight 72 hours. Sometimes it's very light and fluffy like floating puffs of cotton and other times, like this morning it looks like it is coming down like rain. Mark was so happy to think that he would only have to mow the yard 3 maybe 4 months out of the year instead of 12. The snowblower has taken the place of the lawnmower!! Luckily, you only have to blow paths and stuff and not the whole yard. Actually, Heidi would rather he did the whole yard.

They say that the wind is going to pick up and it will be blowing snow this afternoon. That means there will be tall drifts from the snow blowing across the roads and stuff and hazardous driving conditions. Anyway, there is a light, if you can call it that at the end of the tunnel. Today the high is not supposed to get out of the single digits and the lows in the negatives but on Tuesday it's supposed to be in the 30's. Now, this is good because it's warmer and it's bad because it's warmer. It will put a nice little thin coat of ice over the beautiful fallen snow and the roads.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not griping. I love it up here. I love the snow. It is so amazing to me. I like to watch the fluffy white snow fall. It looks like it is just lazy and just floating around and will get to the ground when it feels like it. What we are getting right now is just a constant light fall of tiny little flakes.

I forgot to tell you that Jeremy got back to Texas. He was pretty happy. He made it to his dorm. Classes started on the 18th. He bought his books. I could not believe, his geography text book was $111.00. UUUUUGGGGG!!! Anyway, $360.00 later, he is back in school. He really likes his classes this semester. THat's always a good thing. He called me one day and said that he was sitting on a bench outside the building of his next class enjoying the sunshine. I said "wow....you can sit outside!"

We got a Happy New Years card from our landlord downstate. He and his wife seem so nice. He said if we love the house now we will surely love it in the summer time. I am looking forward to that lake!!! Anyway, we thought it was nice that he sent a card.

I guess that's all. It's time for me to get to my rat killing. Mark is still asleep. I let him on Saturday because we get up so early during the week.

Take care everyone!!!
