98,957th Snow Day of the Year

I decided to start keeping track of how many snow days we take. The number above is without a doubt precise and exact to date. Amazing how the number of days is so big, and it's only the middle of February, eh? I thought so too... It started snowing yesterday, and it's still going strong.

We've received over a foot of  the lovely whiteness. Again. Hubby's campus was shut down, and we aren't even going to try to go anywhere in our two-wheel drive vehicle today. We are going to go for the feet-and-snowshovel mode of transportation, however, and possibly the addition of a little red sled...but not until after nap time.

Wordless Wednesday: Negative Three

Snow Day

Wow. Can I just say that it's looking ALOT like Christmas here in the Twin Cities? Todays snow has been so fun to watch pile up. Thankfully it's on a Saturday so people don't have to go out in it! Not that they could if they wanted to. The airport is shut down, and the mail didn't come today. Even the snowplows were ordered to stay off the roads in part of the state. This is how it looked today at about noon, and it has continued to snow and blow all afternoon. Sixteen inches, and counting!

Well, what better thing to do on a cold snowed-in day, than to get out some delectable ingredients and concoct a masterpiece!

We decided to use up some of the leftover cranberries from thanksgiving.... did you know that cranberries looked like that on the inside? They are so pretty! We also got out the big ol' bag of apples and put them to some good use.

I know it might be kind of hard to tell what this is... considering it's not in the right shape... but it's a pie. An apple-cranberry home-made-crust kind of a pie. And the 'S'? Well, that stands for snow, of course!
