A Snow Emergency!

After a ton of snow fell over night and continues to fall the Mayor declared our town to be in a snow emergency! We live in a snow belt, lots of snow isn't unusual, but it was the amount of snow that fell in a short period of time. The plows needed people to be off the roads in an attempt to clear everything safely. The town was literally closed down.
It was a wonderful day. Outside, picturesque snow falling, all of us playing, building a 7 foot snowman (with the help of a ladder!), snowshoeing. Inside, crafting, baking cookies, reading lots of holiday books. And we didn't even loose our power!

we're still waiting for our first big dump of snow - usual for northern Nova Scotia! Your post makes me remember that cozy socked in feeling. Love the snowman!
