The Blizzard of March 09









Our spring blizzard is upon us. We have one every spring and this better be the last of our snow! The snow started Monday morning and continued all day and all night finally stopping Tuesday morning. There were wind gusts up to 80 mph in Rapid so you can imagine all of the snow that was blowing everywhere. We have 3-4 foot drifts in our yard and the dogs had a great time playing in it this morning. It's not that cold out, but with the wind, it feels a lot colder than it is. Schools and a lot of work places were closed yesterday and today. Chris can't run today and this will break his 85 day in a row of running streak so he's not happy with Mother Nature. Lauren was supposed to come today for Caiden's birthday party this weekend, but she will be delayed until tomorrow as the roads are all closed. We all do need to remember that we do live in South Dakota so we should expect this and it could always be worse! Today will be spent snowed in hanging out in the house. I'm sure we will probably play some games and watch some movies and bake something at some point.
