They're calling it the Blizzard of 2009, breaking all kinds of records. I'm calling it a wonderful weekend. Even though we are sorely under-geared for snow (Hazel had to go out in double pants and rain boots and we had to borrow my sister's snow shovel), we had a fabulous snowed-in weekend around here.We stayed home, played in the snow, watched movies, baked like crazy, took naps, and had totally uninterrupted family time. Not a single errand was run in two days by anyone - now THAT is a new record!
Back and front snowfall by about mid-day Saturday - check out the drifting on the back of Ed's car (green Honda across the street)
Hazel venturing out in the fresh powder
The girls lounging in snow chairs
Buried in snow
Ed digging a path to our shed Saturday night
Back porch snowfall by 7pm Saturday - we measured about 21 inches
Our van Sunday morning before digging out
Our street Sunday morning - church was cancelled - what a weekend!

Oh sure: it's all fun and games when it happens once a decade or so. Now imagine that kind of snowfall and still having to dig out and get to work by 7 am.
--not bitter in upstate NY
I am so glad we don't live with the lake effect snow machine. That Wyoming Homeboy looks right at home with the snow shovel.
I love being snowed in! And the girls look like they are having such fun!
Your back patio area looks AWSOME, wish I could come sip some lemonade in six more months!
