Since last Sat. we have had 20 inches of snow fall. I live in the Coeurdalene area. My dad just called me from Vegas with nws of another storm and one right after that that will drop another 20 inches. Just North of me about an hour North, got 2 ft, and 3 and 4 ft in some areas. Here is the article.

Roof's are collapsing everywhere, there are accidents all over. Since I have everything I need in case the power goes out, I am NOT leaving my house. I feel sorry for my husband out there building in this stuff.

This pics are out my front and back door.

Thanks Everyone!!

Hey Pat, I will box some up and send it to ya!!


I love the snow. I just hate it when the really bad storms hit due to the danger of it. I will probably take the kids out sledding tomorrow. My daughter is ready to go skiing again lol.

It is very beautiful though!!

Batten down the hatches and stay safe girl! Also if you're boxing that stuff up, please send a box to my daughter. lol. She's trying to get us to move back to Memphis because it doesn't snow enough for her here. (the funny part is that only snows about an inch there, which only lasts a couple hours )

[Kristy]

Thanks Christie.

I will have to pack some for her lol. Although she may be a little disappointed when a leaky box shows up with a puddle of water in it

It finally stopped snowing for now.. there is another storm coming tomorrow though. Thats supposed to be the big one. Which is kind of scary considering the last one was the biggest we have had since the ice storm in 96.
