Happy New Year!!!

Hours before the clock struck midnight, we started getting some heavy snow!  We hadn’t seen any snow for many weeks, so it was nice to finally have some on the ground.  It also allowed Shannon’s sister Ashley and her boyfriend Josh (who were spending time with us, from Texas, between Christmas and New Year’s) to “play” in the new snow!  We ended up getting a VERY wet and heavy two inches here in Bloomington.  Once the snow fell, the temperature dropped, so it all pretty much turned to a crusty ice.

They are predicting temperatures in the high 30’s and low 40’s for the rest of this week, so I don’t know how much of this new snow will be sticking around.  At least if it gets warm, I will get a chance to get the driveway cleaned up.  Our first snowmobile trip which was planned for this upcoming weekend got rescheduled for the last weekend in January.  Lets hope we have some decent snow by then.  I can’t even remember the last time we couldn’t go snowmobiling because of no snow!

 

BLOG UPDATE:

I don’t have much planned for the new year.  I am going to try and post more regularly, and not dedicate the entire summer to taking the Trans Am apart!  I am also trying a new format for the background effects on the pictures.  This isn’t something I planned to switch, but the new program I am using to write these posts, defaults to the above look and it is too much work to switch the format back on every picture.  So, since it is a new year, what better time to switch!  Thanks for continuing to read!
