Welcome to Idaho!!
Not the kind of welcome that I was hoping for! This past week colder temps and snow had been forecast for the weekend. The temperature definitely took a dip and yesterday morning (Saturday) we woke up to SNOW! Can you believe that? SNOW in October! I'm not talking a little bit of snow either...we had about 5 inches when we woke up. And it never let up all day long! It was insane. By midafternoon we had 1 foot of snow!!! We ran into Burley to get the boys some boots and gloves since we were NOT prepared for this. Walmart didn't have any boots or ice melt--it's not snow season yet! But luckily we were able to find some at Cal-Ranch. The snow continued well into the night and then a bit more this morning. The trees still have all their leaves and with all this snow the branches are snapping off like crazy. I was nervous all night long that one was going to come crashing through our roof. You could hear them cracking under the weight. There were several that did hit the house...a little too close for comfort for me. Church was cancelled because nobody can get their cars out because the plows haven't been out yet. Such crazy weather. In all we have received almost 2 feet of snow! YIKES! I am definitely NOT ready for winter yet. I miss Washington weather!

That is crazy!!! I can't believe how much snow you got already! I am not a fan of a lot of snow and cold! :) Is it as cold and windy there as it is in Hamer usually? It will be interesting to see how our first winter here is, they say it gets pretty bad. Such adventures! Too bad fall isn't a lot longer!
That is insane!! Who would have thought to get snow in October and not just small flurries. Crazy! It was a special welcome just for you guys!
AS much fun as that snow looks i think we are glad we weren't hit that hard!!! Good luck looks like fun!
WOW!! I live in the mountains and we didn't get nearly as much snow as you....! We still only have a few inches. 2 of my kids hate it and the other can't wait to go sledding. I keep telling them it's not going to stick.....right?
Wow! What a winter wonderland in October?!? Crazy stuff!
Fun for the boys, no doubt!
It will be interesting to see what it looks like after it warms up this week. Might be a muddy mess.
We got snow on Saturday too, but not that much. Ours didn't even stick to the ground. I can't believe that! I bet the boys were in heaven!
Hello Janae! I'm thinking of you alot lately and wondering how you were feeling. I can't imagine having to be unpacking, etc. in a new place feeling like I do now! I can barely keep up with necessities here! I suppose you've found a midwife and are getting ready to deliver any day now. I'm not quite that close , but am ready whenever! I hope you have the help you need when the time comes! You need to send me your email address so that we can keep in touch and share stories. I'd really like your best references for natural childbirth books. I'm read parts of a few, but am looking for new ideas - just in case I feel like I can do it! Send me a note and know that we miss you and think of you often! rjroylance@smwireless.net
Oh - and I heard about your calling! Congrats????? I'll think of you each scout day here. I have Webelos again this year too!
LOL

WOW, you weren't kidding about the snow. Looks like fun, but I am not ready for the colder weather. Put on some warm pj's, have some hot chocolate and watch a good movie. Take it easy.
It was so great to talk to you last
night. Sorry that we can't make it to see you guys. We still really miss seeing and doing stuff with you.
Hang in there and good luck with the delivery.
Welcome to Idaho...
