Karen&#8217;s school district is a rural one and they often miss school if the roads are bad. They don&#8217;t want to chance anyone getting hurt by a school bus sliding off the road. They had a snow day on Monday and an even worse one today. By 2:00pm today we had an accumulation of a foot of snow in the last 24 hours. That gets us pretty close to an all time high for snowfall in any one year and it&#8217;s only the beginning of February. Karen usually goes in to work even if the kids don&#8217;t, but not today. I don&#8217;t think we could even get out our driveway. The treacherous conditions were, however, just beautiful. We have a winter wonderland. Even the smallest branches can have an accumulation of 3 or 4 inches of snow. Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to judge the scale in the photos, but they will give you an idea.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Garden Sculptures\" src=\"http:\/\/www.butchieboy.info\/GardenSculptures.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"733\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Snow Covered Stack of Chairs\" src=\"http:\/\/www.butchieboy.info\/SnowCoverStackOfChairs.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"733\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Down The Porch\" src=\"http:\/\/www.butchieboy.info\/DownThePorch.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"733\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Big Kitchen Tree\" src=\"http:\/\/www.butchieboy.info\/BigKitchenTree.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"733\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was so pretty we wanted to go outside.
