On Wednesday morning, we began to hear the buzz; another winter storm was on its way. The severity of the storm became apparent when even NAU canceled classes. We woke up to a winter wonderland on Thursday morning, and the snow did not stop falling all day. We stayed inside, keeping warm by the wood burning stove, hunkering down with our readings and school work, and breaking up the studies with puzzle making, crafting, and movies. The snow did not stop falling until midday Friday, and by then Flagstaff had a new record 40.1 inches of snow, adding in the 18+ at the beginning of the week, and we received almost 60 inches of snow. That is a lot of snow to shovel. We are thankful for structural engineers who accounted for large snowfalls when designing our roof. Hopefully, some of it will melt today, Saturday, when the sun is shining again, and the sky is blue. We thoroughly enjoyed our slower pace, and Bob feels like he received a birthday gift from NAU with his four day weekend.
