Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

Recently a pretty significant snowstorm made its way across the USA. Our family GroupMe chat began filling up with photos as the storm moved across the states.

Santaquin, Utah

That's some heavy snow coming down on Cambria!

Iowa City, Iowa

Sarah loves snow, so it was no surprise that I began receiving pictures and videos of her home almost as soon as the flakes began coming down. (15 inches in the first snowstorm, and then more a day later!)

Until Sarah and Todd moved to Iowa, I had no idea just how bad the winter weather there could be. (Ever seen snow potholes? Where the snow on the roads becomes so thick and compressed, turns to ice, and then begins developing potholes in that ice? I hadn't and nearly broke an axle hitting one once!)

The snowfall may be heavy, but dogs gotta do what dogs gotta do, right?

I love how Blue takes a bite of snow while Rhett struggles to reach the trees.

I had to laugh at this video, too, because Craig also scoops a path for Pepper when there is heavy snow.

Rexburg, Idaho

JC may not love snow like his mama does, but he joined in and sent the family a video of the snow that was falling outside his place of work. Idaho generally gets a lot of snow, too.

Thompson's Station, Tennessee

No snow there! The white tablecloth under the Christmas, 2023 Lego Village had to do.

West Lafayette, Indiana

That same storm was supposed to give us 3 inches, but we only got an inch which melted quickly.

Still, it was a pretty snow, and I always love it when our outdoor lights get buried and then glow underneath the snow.

We expect more snow and some ice this weekend from a second major storm that will be coming through. Sarah and her family and dogs are planning to come for a visit, but we shall see what the travel impact is. 

Fingers crossed that it won't be too bad and that they can get here safely.
