Wonderful windy winter storm

Mother Nature gave us a February surprise this week with a genuine snowstorm. It's been blowing and snowing for two days now and it looks like we're in for a couple more. The power went out that first night for about eight hours and we've just now gotten the house warmed up again. We're keeping warm with lots of layers, and I stocked up on food heartily before this all started, so we've been feasting our way through the cold.
The sun came out for a few hours this morning, so Ole and I bundled up and took Pepper outside for some snowy fun.

Excited! Note my "solution" for our drafty front door.

Hey, Mom, take a picture of my boot.

Keeping a stiff upper lip.

The hazy stripe is powdery snow whipping down our road at sixty miles an hour. I love the little drifts behind each mole hill in the yard.
After goofing around a bit in the yard, Ole made a beeline for the house. I'm pretty sure he was thinking about sitting by the fire and drinking hot cocoa.
All done.
