Winter is officially in full force here in Iowa (and the Midwest, really). Starting at 6 last night (the precipitation started falling at 4), the area was under a blizzard warning. It was supposedly to last until 6 PM today, but was extended to 9 PM. The wind is still blowing like crazy, it's pretty chilly, and there is quite a bit of snow out there. We got about 13 inches of snow. Here are some shots from last night and today. It really is like a winter wonderland out there. I like it a lot.

| Sophie's first steps in the snow this year. |
 |
| We can buy her all the toys we want, but she loves plastic bottles best. |
 |
| Pretty sure this is Sophie's way of letting us know she likes the snow. |
 |
| It's bright white out there! Now I remember why I have blackout curtains in my bedroom. |

| A perfect day for a big pot of chili. |
My dear friend, Michaun, and her husband (and sweet puppy Ted) planned to stay the night at our house last night on their way from Chicago to Lincoln, Nebraska. Due to the poor driving conditions from the blizzard, they had to stop last night and stay at a hotel in the Quad Cities. Today, they've been stuck on Interstate 80 after
this nasty pileup. A trip that should have taken them a little more than five hours (to get to our house from Chicago), has taken more than 24 hours. Winter sure did come in fast and furious this year!
