It’s never too early to get your children helping out around the house. After our twenty or so inches of snowfall — more if you count the massive drifts throughout our neighborhood — we sent Ani, almost two, out with her shovel to get the driveway done. It only took six hours and two diaper changes.
(I’m kidding, obviously. But it was quite a day for snow removal here. Here’s a link to our "Holiday Blizzard 2006" photos. Isn’t it great that, thanks to television, every major weather event has a cool-sounding name now?)

Thanks for sharing the pictures of Ani. Abby “helped” with the shoveling as well. I think I can see why you finished your shoveling before me (I’m still working on it). We have a three-car garage (and therefore driveway), 33 inches at last estimate, and no snow-blower.
I, too, was waiting to see what the local stations decided to call this blizzard. I was hoping for “Winter Solstice Eve 2006 Blizzard,” but no such luck.

Hi Bud!!
Just a request — I am hosting an online project for teachers where we are posting “SCENES FROM THE SEASON” and was wondering if I could use a couple of your SNOW pictures to add to the web album??
We are using Bubble Share and have pictures from CA, OR, LA, CO, and Malaysia so far.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Jennifer Wagner

Hey Bud… Great pics… Very cute! Happy Holidays… I did a similar post on my html based site three years ago… Boy does time fly: http://www.ragonefamily.net/2003-blizzard.html.
Enjoy your time off — “see” you in the New Year!

Here in Rock Hill, SC, we’ve had more days appropriate for shorts and flip flops than boots and coats. We had a 20 innc snowfall 3 years ago that immobilized us—we don’t have the infrastrucure to deal with more than an inch or two. My oldest son is a freshman at DePaul, and he doesn’t seem to understand he will need a REAL winter coat for this upcoming next semester. He doesn’t even own real socks–just booty style ones. Won’t listen to Mom—guess he’ll just have to live and learn. Merry white Christmas. Ani is darling.
