Lots of Snow

Overnight we had about a foot of snow. Wow! Now I hear you lower 48 people. "You live in Alaska, what is the big deal with snow?" Well, I will tell you. Here in the Interior of Alaska where we live we do not get a ton of snow. Yes, we have snow on the ground from October to April/May every year but it isn't a lot of snow. And to get a foot of snow all at once like this is just fantabulous! (yes, I made that word up)



My Wonderful Husband is getting the four wheeler dug out and heated up for snow plowing. Poor guys, they were planning on a father/son snowmachine/caribou hunt today. I was still in bed and stuck there since the little fella had woke up earlier and was sleeping in our bed. I dare not get up because as soon as I step out of bed he is awake. So I lay there listening to voices and wonder why in the world they were not gone yet and why they were being so loud and hoping they would not wake the little fella. Finally, I was overly ready to get up and the voices were right outside my window so I got up to look out and they were doing something near my window to a vent or something.
I am sad that they will not get their hunt today but I am super de duper glad that Dad will be home with us today. Then bummed again that the house is a wreck and that I will spend about 7/8ths of my day cleaning and the rest will be spent cooking. But my husband is home!
