I was actually planning on running a few treadmill miles this morning but I was not prepared for what happened overnight.  WE GOT BURIED!!!!  I had at least a foot of new snow and the wind was gusting to almost 60mph when I woke up.  I had drifts up to 6 feet in my yard.

Needless to say, my son and I spent at least 3-4 hours shoveling at my house and my mother-in-laws house just trying to keep us dug out .  Every time we finished, it just kept snowing and blowing.  My neighborhood looks incredible.  I called my parents in Montana and told them not to come down for a few days because there was no way they would make it.  Most of the roads are closed and the wind would keep it that way.

I am tired, my back hurts, and I will run tomorrow.......

BUT WE HAD A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS :)
