Winter Storm

We had lots of snow yesterday. The whole city shut down, in fact most of the state shut down. The governor ordered all UW schools to close and even the Madison military base closed, per military orders. We got about 16 inches in 24 hours. That is a lot of snow to deal with!

Our next door neighbor's tree split in half in the middle of the night. It missed Julie's car by about 2 inches. Julie and I started shoveling about 8:30am and finished around 12:30pm. We were so tired. My shoulder was really sore so I took an afternoon nap. :)

Today the sun was out and it was beautiful out, but soooo cold, probably 10 degrees.
