Yeah. That's right. After something like 26 hours of constant snow here, we are pretty much stuck inside. Not only is it snowy, but it's windy. This means drifting snow that piles up really high in some places. Like, for instance, our back patio. This picture was taken in the afternoon after less than 20 hours of snow, so you know it's only gotten deeper by now... the remains of Frosty (the snowman from our last snowstorm) are getting covered! His entire lower body is under new fallen snow (he is really a 3-part snowman, but you can only see 2 parts now :))
I just peeked out the window a moment ago to see if it was still snowing. Yep. And there was a poor little bunny running back and forth across a snowdrift, trying to find its way out of our yard. The spot in the fence where the bunnies usually enter/exit has been covered, so I think this little guy got confused. Leif tried putting out a carrot or two for it, so those will either get snatched up or buried in snow to freeze for a later date.
We're already feeling the effects of being cooped up in our not-so-big house, and tomorrow has already been declared another snow day for Leif. I sure hope this snow subsides soon!!! Fortunately we have plenty of food to keep us going if need be.
I know Leif has been needing to get back to the school to pick up some things to work on, but we couldn't unbury ourselves today with all the drifting snow and below zero windchill factors... but all is not lost... Leif's time off today provided an opportunity to WIN ILLINI BASKETBALL TICKETS! That's right! Leif won the "3 at 3" game on the radio station today (the same game I won at the end of January) so he gets a pair of tickets to see the Illinois/Michigan game next Wednesday! ROCK ON!!!!
Well if you're reading this because you too are stuck inside, I feel ya. If you're reading this from someplace with temperatures above freezing, I'm jealous and I want to come visit you immediately ;-)
