Snowmageddon - Feb 9, 2011

Holy cow!!!  We got sooooo much snow today. The forecast was calling for 4-10 inches here and 6-8 in Little Rock. I assumed that school would get cancelled in LR, so I jetted out of there Tuesday night before the storm hit. I knew if I waited until they called inclement weather at school, I'd never make it home. Wow, was I right!!!  By the time the snow stopped early this afternoon we got at least 16 inches, maybe more. It's hard to tell since it was blowing so hard and we have major drifts in our yard.  The pic of Reggie in the back yard was taken around 8:00 in the morning. It'd been snowing for about 6 or 7 hours and we already had a good 12 inches of snow.


Curt is standing by Reggie's dog house. Reg doesn't usually go in his dog house, but even if he did he would have to work to get in it!!  Some of the snow on the dog house was from the blizzard (yep, that's what the news called it) we got last week, but most of it is from this morning. It's hilarious, the 8 inches we got last week was a blizzard. So what does that make this 16 inches we got???  Snowmageddon, snowpocalypse, etc, etc.

Thanks to all the snow, Reg got to spend a few hours this morning in the house. He does NOT like being in the house (which is great b/c I don't like having a dog in the house) and has to be dragged into the house. He is pretty cute though!!!

Around 10:00 we went out to shovel the driveway. This is just the beginning of the pile that we'll probably still have in April! And yes, that is my very silly husband posing like...well, I don't what he's posing like. So crazy!

Cade "resting" in his snow fort that now has 3 foot wall around it thanks to this new snow ;)

Keira playing dead after she "cannonballed" into a pile of snow.

Reggie giving Keira kisses. He's such a good dog! He loves the kids and is always watching out for them. Keira had fun getting kisses from him until he pretty much laid down on her and took a rest.  I think he weighs more than she does, so she was stuck in the snow with a fur blanket on her!

Once we had finally cleared most of the driveway, we had quite a pile for the kids to jump in. I think the video speaks for itself.
