Snow Day

Here's the view out our back door.

Here's the view out our front window.

They say it rarely snows here.  So when it does, everything shuts down because the city isn't equipped to take care of snow.  I'm especially nervous about backing out of the garage and down our steep driveway.  I just know that I'm going to slide right into Charles' and ?? (don't know his wife's name yet) front yard.  I'm pretty sure the schools are closed today.  Some friends were telling me that they close the schools even if they think it's going to snow.
