snow...snOW...SNOW!

Our children have been asked to stop praying for snow. The night before all this snow fell, Travis prayed for eight inches of snow and boy did he get it!

Meleah loved it! It was also about -10 to -15 degrees so it was hard to make snowmen. The snow was dry and like powder so it didn't stick together much.

Lots of shoveling involved. Thankfully, we bought our snow shovels the night before because there were shortages around town. This is an unusual amount of snow for Grand Junction.
Bob was at work and they had to shovel the melting slush out from in front of the garage doors. One of the guys said, "I bet you never shoveled snow on the Fire Dept. in Arizona!" They have had a lot of hypothermia calls. We have started praying for the homeless in a whole new way. It is very cold to be living on the streets.

When Meleah would get tired, she would just plop down into the snow and rest.

Schools were cancelled. Some businesses didn't open. People were snowed in.
Not many know how to drive on this stuff. It was a lot of fun while it lasted. It finally melted and then froze. So now we have trecherous ice patches all over the place. You get the nice sound of crunching ice where ever you walk. I am hoping that a little more snow will fall before Christmas. It looks so pretty on the trees. Merry Christmas to all of you!
