Sometimes when I see how beautiful snow is, I think for a second (only a second)that I would like to live in it. And then: we hit the roads, the kids are crying about their frostbitten fingers and toes even though you spent 20 minutes getting them ready to go out, there are muddy and wet shoes everywhere, and it is cold!!! And then I remember it is great to visit and go home to the warmth. These are some pictures of the roads on the way out of Ely. We stopped to help someone stuck in the snow, and then we pulled over to help a truck that rolled over. It took us 8 hours to make the 5 hour trip home.
