Winter Wonderland 2014

Today we enjoyed a family day at home due to the winter storm that brought at least ten inches of fresh snow.  It was a beautiful, snowy day with the temperature hovering between 32 and 34 degrees.  We spent several hours outside this afternoon taking pictures, building a snowman, building snow forts, throwing snowballs, and shoveling sidewalks.  

Tomorrow is supposed to bring temperatures so frigid that it will be impossible to go out and play in the snow!  They are forecasting a high of -11 degrees and a lo of -17 degrees with a windchill of -39 degrees to -44 degrees.  Yikes!  

Tonight I spent time figuring out how to blog pictures after being unable to blog them through Picasa as I had done in the past.  Yeah!  Between my husband and myself, we got it figured out!  Enjoy!
