Which snow scraping implement is from Alabama? Which two implements are from Wisconsin? I'll give you a hint - which one looks totally inadequate to scrape a foot of snow off the windshield and hood of a car?

Speaking of frozen, when we left to drive to dinner – the rear two doors of the car were frozen shut! The kids had to climb through the front doors in order to get into the car. Then, once we got to Denelie’s, the kids had to reverse the process and climb out the front seat. Here’s a video!

Also, it had started to snow pretty heavily right before we left for dinner. I took this video of some kids getting ready to go down the big sledding hill.

It’s hard to see all the snow falling on youtube because of the video compression.
