Snow Fort!

It’s been a great winter for snow, as Elise and I – well maybe just me – have been enjoying being back in the land of snow.  As a result, we’ve had some good time outdoors (when it’s not too cold) cross-country skiing, tromping around, and last but not least, building snow tunnels/forts.  Technically, the fort was built by ‘papa’ while everyone else was napping, but Jacob sure enjoyed it!

Blizzard!

Iowa City received its first blizzard of the season. We received approximately 10-12” of snow. However, due to the blowing wind I shoveled approximately 8” of snow three times. In between our house and the neighbor’s house, the snow was 2 feet deep. I now can say with authority, that man can create a mountain range. Now to rest my back… oh yeah, all classes at the University are canceled and no buses are running. Oh wait, I hear the snow plow creating a three foot wall between my driveway and the world. Here we go again…
