Will it ever stop snowing?

I swear I feel like Im living in a frickin' snow globe.

So does everyone else who lives around here. 

It has been snowing here for days. 

Many, many days.

As of yesterday morning we had over a foot of snow.

A foot!

That is more snow than I have ever seen in my 

twenty eight years.

We had a brief break yesterday.

... 

And then it started to rain. 

Which quickly turned to freezing rain, 

creating a thick layer of ice on top of the snow. 

Last night the wind was raging so loudly

that it kept me up for 2 hours. 

And now it's snowing again.

It's really is beautiful, like a real Winter Wonderland.

The snow covered trees are breathtaking 

and the large flakes of falling snow have a magical quality.

The ground glitters with ice crystals 

and everywhere you look are sledding children

and snowmen of every size. 

Surprisingly, our dog Reese LOVES it. 

She's a bit of a spoiled princess and doesnt usually like 

the cold and wet, 

but she has been spending lots of time 

bounding through the snow drifts and digging 

snow tunnels. 

It's been really fun watching her. 

For now though, we're all cuddled up on the couch 

while the snow and wind swirl outside, 

drinking our hot apple cider and watching Christmas movies, 

enjoying this Winter Wonderland together.
