Last week we had our first (and hopefully last) big snow of the season. It started snowing Wednesday around 3 pm and finished up around 9 pm. During that time we got a little over 8 inches. It was coming down like crazy - it was basically a thunderstorm but with snow. The snow was super wet and icy and subsequently was very heavy - limbs, and some small trees, were cracking and falling all night. Not to mention it is awful to shovel the next day! Wed night the roads were awful D left work around 5 pm Wed and made it home around 9 pm...and we only live around 8 miles away. We lost power around 8 pm but it was fortunately back on around noon the next day. Fortunately, because when we woke up Thursday morning it was a chilly 55 degrees in the house. We spent the morning shoveling the snow. We live on a hill and it is impossible to get traction right in front of our house so we also shoveled a big chunk of the road too. D went to work after that and the girls and I spent the day Thursday with our friends Kate and Abby, who live pretty close and had power. Here are some pictures of our adventures:
