One of our churches called off service yesterday…too much snow.

Temps went as low as -7 as far as I last knew

Wind chill–they said -30

We got a bunch of snow…church members said that  a real winter in the UP is having yesterday every other day all winter long

If things keep going the way they are, one of these days, Alanna is going to come out of her house and not be able to find her car (It’s a really low car)

I hate blowing snow! — we have to do it like all the time now!

We are still under Winter Storm Warning with like 6 more inches of snow to come

Visibility is at 0 sometimes (they call them white-outs)

Wind chill is now hitting -35

Even the dog doesn’t want to go outside hahahahaha

And we are all sick but will get over it in a couple of days.

I’m going to go make The North Face rich as soon as these UP winter sport stores open!
