The Blizzard is really here!

Veiw from our front porch

So we’re in the middle of a blizzard now. They said it was coming, but I never believe it until I see it. It started early this morning with lake effect snow, but by 2 pm it was windy & the snow really began to come down. I usually walk down to the bus stop to meet up with my girls after school. Its only at the end of the block. But today I had to drive down to get them. It was sooooo windy they would have blown away!

So off Lucy & I went……

Bus was 20 min late. Lucy's pretty tired of waiting!





View from the car. This is before the blizzard really got going!



The school has been canceled for tomorrow : )   If the weather man is right we should get about 12 to 18 inches by Wed. afternoon!

This drift is twice as tall since I took this pic after school.

We’re warm & cozy inside & just finished some crock pot chicken soup, with plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. Here’s my quick & easy recipe…..

2 Cans chicken broth
1 cup of chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
2-3 potatos cut in to small chunks
Dash of salt & pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons of dried onions
3 to 4 chicken breast - chopped into large chunks
1 table spoon of dried basil
Cook on low for 4 to 5 hours.
If you like, add cooked noodles or rice when its time to serve. For something different we decided to use whole wheat lasagna noodles. Just cut into smaller chucky noodles when cooked. Its so yummy to have the big noodle on your spoon!

Hope your all warm & cozy !
