It's snowing! It's snowing! & trees are falling!

When the snow started to fall on Sunday, Doug was like a little kid. Hoping for a snow day. He did get a 2hr late start. and then after 2 hrs of school...an early release! So close to a full snow day.
   It snowed alot here in the Onalaska low lands ( and I'm sure lots more in the high lands) on Monday. We have close to 4 inches of the beautiful white stuff!!!

  It really shows off Doug's decorations!! They look sooo cool with all the snow!
  Now to the Trees. it started with two  much heavy wet snow on one of our trees out front. We heard at crack and thud. Yep, a huge branch had been brought now by some snow flakes ganging up on it.

 I had Ellie so Doug and Melia headed out in the cold to finish sawing the branch off and hauling it away.



When the wind started to really blow Doug and Melia ducked into the wood shed.
Didn't seem to bother Isabell too much. She wanted to eat the snow.



Isabell had been begging to go out side Papa finally braved the cold and wind and took her out.

Later as we were just settling into a Christmas movie and I had just put Isabell in the bath tub, out went the lights!!! Talking to Mark ( Melia's father in law) seems trees and branches were going down all over the place and taking power lines down with them. We were working on preparing for a long, cold and dark night. When after 2 hrs the lights flicked back on . As I write this wind is still blowing hard. We may still lose power again. But as for now we are warm and have light!
