Today is the first snow day for Sam's school. I grew up in Kentucky, where a snow day meant, "Hey, it snowed a couple inches last night so no one can drive anywhere for a couple hours. Hurry up and get the plastic produce bags on your tennis shoes, we have some sledding to do before the snow is gone at 10 a.m.!"
This is a different kind of snow day.
I was awake with Owen at about 2:00 a.m. and we spent an hour listening to people call into a radio show from their cars, where they were stranded on Lakeshore Drive and waiting for emergency responders to arrive on snowmobiles to rescue them.
All the roads in our county are closed. Only snowplows and emergency vehicles. And, apparently, the one SUV we saw pass our house this morning.
I'm not sure we can let the children outside. Like small dogs, they might disappear into the snowdrifts.The compost bin before (3 p.m. Tuesday) and after (9 a.m. Wednesday).

I like your pictures! I am no snow fan, but it really is pretty to look at.
More lake effect snow today. It was lovely to watch, but small children + snow = messy and annoying.
