We've had record cold temps for over a week. A lot of people have lost power, but thankfully we have had power the entire time. If we had lost power, it could have caused serious damage to our pool with the pipes freezing. We have friends whose pipes froze and caused serious damage. Due to our fancy auto shut off kitchen faucet, our cold water to the kitchen sink froze for a short time. But we were able to thaw it with a space heater, and there appears to be no damage.
The kids have been out of school all week, and I'm having Annabelle work on her shield, which is due in March. She wasn't happy that I took her picture.
Early on in the snow storm. The kids wanted to get out there right away after a small dusting. But more snow was coming.
Annabelle went sledding one day with a few neighbor friends, Bailey Shannon and Audrey Thomason.

Annabelle, Laura Darley, and Audrey making snowmen. It was so cold that the snow was very powdery. You couldn't really make a good snowman until the last day, as it was melting.

We love that there are so many school friends in the hood. Some of the 5th grade boys got together one afternoon for a snowball fight. Left to right: Adam Thomason, Liam Fesler, Caden, Daniel Crow, Drew Dzina, Shep McFarlane, Cooper Dow, and Andrew Dawson.
Another day the boys played Capture the Flag at the park by our house: Henry Buja, Daniel Crow, Shep McFarlane, Clive Rowland, Drew Dzina, Caden, Andrew Dawson, Cooper Dow, and Liam Fesler.
I don't think the kids will ever have another week off of school for snow.
