Snow in Minnesota

WELCOME BACK WINTER!  Minnesota clobbered by 16 inches of snow

This was last nights's headline.  It had started to snow during the night, and then continued all day yesterday. We had no snow at all...and now a winter wonderland!

As I was preparing to leave for church in the morning, Dad called and said it would be good for Timothy and me to stay home.  They were safely at church by then, but had done a full 360 degree spin as they went over the 35 W bridge, and he said the roads were terrible.
It was mild outside, and the snow was coming
down fast and sticky. Actually the kind of
day that is wonderful to get out and shovel.

This is about mid-morning after Timothy had done
an earlier shoveling.
Every few minutes there were small
"avalanches" of snow falling through
the tall trees.  Very pretty!

  
See those big huge, heavy clumps ready
to fall?
John and I shoveled again in the late afternoon, and when the guys got home finally at night after church, they shoveled again!  

Joseph and Daniel had some fun making snow angels 
and then they headed in for some warming up pushups and a hot shower!



And this is what it looks like outside today!!
