Holy Snowstorm

We are being POUNDED with snow! 

 Before Christmas the kids were doing snow dances and begging for snow.  

I guess it all worked eventually because now it is getting ridiculous.

On the radio yesterday morning the weather man said the average snowfall in Boston is 46 inches and as of yesterday morning they were already at 51 inches.  I don't know what it has been out here in the sticks, but I do know that we got ANOTHER storm last night.

 This is a picture of a ruler, yep you can only see the tip top.

 Yep, another foot of snow.  A couple weeks ago we got a storm with 20 inches, last week another 8 and now today about a foot.

 We are buried in it.

 You can barely see the Honda underneath it all.  Yesterday it was completely cleaned off and I was driving it.

 This is what my BBQ looks like.  I left it out with the cover on hoping to be able to use it.  Probably not, we can't get to it.

 This is a view from my kitchen floor onto the patio.  

And this lovely picture was the temperature the other morning while I was sitting at seminary.  Yes, it got even colder, we saw -10, but couldn't get the picture to work, I think my camera was very possibly frozen!!!

As of right now my little lovelies won't get out of school until June 22nd.  We have had so many snow days.  Last week with the Martin Luther King holiday, my kids only had 2 days of school because we had 2 snow days in 1 week.

It is starting to get ridiculous!  Pretty, but come on.....

Snow so high there is no where left to put it.  Can't see the mailbox, can't see around the snowbanks when you are driving and can't see when you pull out in front of a police man because you can't see him coming because there is 

TOO MUCH SNOW!!!

I CANCELLED our Cable TV.

Now, for those who know me well, you will know how much I love to watch TV.  So this is so HUGE for me.

The reasons for cancelling(and they are all my reasons and I don't care what anyone else does at their own house):

1.  I am tired of the garbage that is on TV.

2.  I am tired of paying the bill for the garbage that is on TV.

3. I would rather spend money on something other than the garbage that is     on TV.

4.  I want my children to find other things to do, other than watch the garbage that is on TV.

5.  I am tired of my children having the influence of the garbage on TV.

Those are the biggest reasons.

Now, I will say, we have Netflix, for Christmas we got Apple TV, so there will still be some watching of the TV in our household.  I feel that I will be able to have more control over what is watched and there are not commercials that have to be watched.

I will miss football and I may reconsider once football season comes around, but for now, there is no more cable in the Burt household.

 I can't wait to see the reaction when the kids get home!

1.  no more cable bill

2.  Monday
