SNOWPOCALYPSE!

A huge weather system has traveled through the entire midwest and up into the northeastern states. Monday night the weather forecasters were bracing us for the worst. "This is going to be a combination of the two worst storms St. Louis has ever seen." "Inches of ice followed by a foot of snow." "Run to the stores and gather supplies!" So, we did just that and braced ourselves for the worst storm in St. Louis history.....

We DID get the ice. And most of the day Tuesday it did sleet. But, we got MAYBE an inch of snow and that's being generous.

Here's the kids eating icicles that formed off our bbq grill:
