Snow Storm "Stella"

We had a very mild winter this year.  Last month it reached 70 degrees.  It was so amazing.  I love the warm weather.  But then winter decided to show up and just one week before spring!!!!! 

My kids and husband had off on Tuesday and Wednesday and then a delay on Thursday because of a snow storm that hit us on Monday night into Tuesday evening.  We didn't get the amount that was expected but it was over a foot of snow.  There was also a lot of sleet and wind, which made things very messy.  Since my husband is recovering from ankle surgery I had to do all the shoveling and yes I selfishly complained and hurt my back but it's what I have to do.  My son willingly helped and he was amazing.  I couldn't have done it without him.  My daughter offered to help but pretty much ate some snow and used a small sand shovel.  She was more interested in playing than shoveling and that's okay.  She's 5.  The wind made it difficult to actually enjoy the snow so we had to take a lot of breaks.  Thankfully the driveway is clear. 

I do not like snow and I do not like cold. 

One week until spring ... I think??
