Living in a Winter Wonderland

 Yesterday, December 20 we got hit with our first big snowfall and blizzard of the season.
Schools were closed both yesterday and today.
John stayed home both yesterday and today, too.
The roads were just too treacherous for travel.
John shoveled three times yesterday to try and stay on top of the almost 15 inches of snow.
Today he went out once and cleaned everything up.  The snow has stopped but the wind is till whipping it all around today.

 The snow was so wet and heavy that many trees and big branches broke down under the weight.
This big pine tree, now under the big snowpile you see in the photo, snapped off at the top.



 When we got home from our walk, we built a snowman.
The snow was perfect for packing.
And here is our finished snowman standing proud and tall in our front yard.
It really is pretty after such a big snowfall and life will soon be back to normal.
That's the way it is in Wisconsin in the winter.
