After shoveling for an hour, Nate came back in and check his email and found that (for the first time in at least 12 years, according to a co-worker) UW-Green Bay was officially closed for the day. Snow day!! Still, with lots of grading to get done, Nate decided to brave the roads and drove to campus to pick up some lab reports. Apparently he was the only one crazy enough to do so, as he didn't see any other cars in the campus parking lot...
We all bundled up briefly this afternoon so that we could show Owen what snow is all about. Here are father and chubby-cheeked son, plunked down in the snow drift that Nate made with all of his shoveling...

and a wider shot back toward our house, for perspective
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow ~ blizzard warnings are in effect until midnight tonight.
