We had a snowstorm last night that was the biggest since we moved here.  Of course, 8 inches isn’t really much to talk about, but this town thinks it’s big.  Everything was shut down for at least half of the day.

  The kids didn’t have school and I didn’t go in so we went sledding and they spent a good part of the day outside.  I can’t tell you how happy they were to have snow.  We really didn’t have any snowstorms last year that produced enough snow to sled so today was a treat. 

  Since we are now on CoCoRaHS, you can see how much we get in precipitation and snow at:

  I am Kane County #1 in Illinois.  I found out today that they signed up 50 volunteers in Illinois in one day!  This thing is really taking off.

   Let’s bring on more snow!
