Snowy Weekend

It has been one snowy weekend here in West Michigan. Starting Friday morning, we got socked with about 11" of snow. Jason and I both decided with the road conditions that it was too bad to attempt the drives to Holland and Muskegon for work. Thankfully, both of our bosses were very understanding. Instead, we spent the day hunkered down in the house all day. By late afternoon, the snow stopped and I was even able to bundle Hannah up and take her out for a few minutes to get her first experience in the snow.




Saturday ended up being a beautiful, sunny day. I even got out for a little while to do some Christmas shopping around town. I was pretty amazed at how much snow was piled up everywhere.

This morning we woke up for church only to see even more snow and unfortunately lots of wind. It's so bad that our church, along with about 650 other West MI churches, was cancelled this morning. So, we've been bundled up inside once again. Below is a comparison of the snow that we had after the storm on Friday compared with what's out there right now. Crazy!



To ensure that plow drivers see him, Jason sported his hunter orange snow suit to attempt to blow out the driveway.



You can see that snow in the backyard is up to Jason's knees and JJ's chin.
