Snow!

This is a little belated, but I wanted to share our snow happiness.   A week ago we got our first real snow of the season - 10 & 1/2 inches in one night.

The Mississippi is starting to freeze over.

The roads have been...interesting.  We were impressed with the armada of plows - everything was plowed very quickly.  However, with that much snow at once they can't get it all off the road, so instead it became incredibly compact snow that was pretty slippery and wouldn't melt.  It's finally off the roads now, a week later.
