BLIZZARD WARNING....

Forecasts call for a three phased storm to hit us here in central Ohio...today was phase one a lot of blowing snow...our office shut down at noon to give us all the afternoon to trudge home...all in total we are supposed to get 10-14 inches which is a ton for this area; however, it never seems to pan out so please keep your fingers crossed we hit double digits.....i love love love the snow!!! I got spoiled at college in NW PA living for four plus years with lake effect snow.......a glimpse into phase one....

a little snow seeping through the screens and finding a resting place on our furniture...

adding a little touch a winter to the decor:

to help illustrate the strong winds that came in with this phase...we live on very large and open lot so there is nothing to block the wind....here you can see the wind keeping the surface of our patio stones exposed....and then the drifts that rest around the back of the house....we have these all around the house and various places out in the field...

Phase 2 is set to hit at 2AM bringing heavy snow...i know i will waking up hour on the hour for an accumulation check....tomorrow we will hope for tons of white stuff....and just for dji i'll make sure to capture a few videos of our pack playing in the snow.......until tomorrow...please help us pray to the snow gods!!!!!
