Snow! (and lots of it!)

If you are alive and breathing, you probably already know how much snow we got over the weekend. The blizzard of 2016 was all over the news, and rightfully so.  It was nasty!  It was most definitely a reminder of my Western New York and Northwest Pennsylvania days.  Yikes!  That's why I moved south...I don't want this much snow!  The "official" reports say Winchester got 38 inches, which I would not disagree with.  Perhaps even a bit more around Scenic Circle, but there was so much wind, it was hard to gage.  In typical New Yorker fashion, we shoved throughout the storm.  Keeping up with all that snow was important, and I'm thinking the neighbors were wishing they would have done the same once it was all said and done!

Being snowed in wasn't actually too bad.  We did play outside, and the girls surprisingly didn't mind the crazy wind blowing snow in their faces.  I cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner, each day, which was nice.  I tried to stay away from baking, which means I would stay away from eating!  (Why is it so easy to eat all day long when you're stuck at your house?!)

Kristi decided to get snowed in here too, which was good.  She was a master shoveler, and the initiatior of adult games after the girls went to bed, which kept us from going to bed at 8 o'clock and from staring at our phones for too long!  Her and Jeff had quite the task of digging out at her place on Monday when they were able to get back to her house.

We had Friday off, and have had Monday, Tuesday, and we will have tomorrow, Wednesday off too.  Even though it was almost 50 degrees today, they just can't move the snow fast enough.  Not to mention, I don't think they really know how to plow down here!  It's a mess out there!  There are a few districts who have already announced that they will close the rest of the week!  I like that they plan ahead!  I'm not sure if we'll have the rest of the week, or will go in with a delay maybe Thursday, I guess only time will tell.

Here are some pictures that I took with my phone.  Hope you had a good weekend!

Of course we went out pretty much as soon as the snow started!

 One day I'm going to have a garage....one day.

 This is what Jeff and Kristi found when they returned to her house.  Her car is there somewhere!
