Still iced in!

I can hardly believe it, but we just got the call for the fourth ice day school closing!  No school for FOUR days in a row!  I'm blessed to have the job I do in a district that keeps our kids (and their staff) safe.  It is still an ice rink out there, and FREEZING!  Hasn't been over 20 degrees since this whole ball o' fun started on Tuesday morning.

Kendra decided to brave it and go out for a bit this afternoon.  This is her "ARRGGG!  Gonna tough the cold!"  face:

Are you as enamoured by her choice of ensemble as I am?  Striped fleece nightgown, green teddy bear/polka dot pj pants, black and pink boots, brown plaid jacket.  Wow.  That's some fashion sense right there.

She originally went to get the mail, then she decided to try to help with the driveway.  She started lifting three inch thick sheets of ice/snow from the top. 

Then, she spied it. 

 Yes, IT. 

The green pool floatie. 

She ran inside and asked if she could slide down our ice-hill of a driveway on it. 

Of course she could!

 You can see the ice rink roads in this shot!

Gotta give her props for ingenuity!  She had a blast!  It looks like snow, folks, but that stuff is rock solid! 

The good news is that the temp is supposed to climb above the freezing mark tomorrow so with any luck, we can get out of here for a time!  I just haven't been willing to risk a large car repair bill to venture out when I didn't need to!

But....I just now heard it is supposed to snow again tonight.  Sheesh.
