Surviving the Blizzard

The snow started on Friday at 10 AM and didn't stop until Saturday afternoon. I'm not sure how many inches we got officially, but it had to be around 20 inches. Unlike the December storm, this snow was very wet and heavy. Brian was out shoveling the driveway every couple of hours to prevent having to dig out of all 20 inches at once.

On Friday, we lost power for a couple of hours around 7:30 PM. We were concerned that we might be out of power overnight, so we started getting the living room set-up for us to sleep there, next to the fireplace. The power came back on before 10, but the next morning, Brennan was very excited to see the pack-n-play and wanted to get right into it.

After fighting with Brennan to leave the pack-n-play, he enjoyed his special blizzard breakfast of pancakes. Then, Brian headed right back out to do more shoveling.

Our neighbors had a blizzard party late yesterday afternoon, which turned out to be a lot of fun. Brennan loved playing with their dog, Baxter. The dog and Brennan moved too fast for me to get a picture of them together, but here is Brennan chasing after him.

One lane was cleanly plowed on our street and I had hoped to get out this morning and get a few pictures, while everything is still clean, crisp and white. However, our garage door is frozen to the ground, so it won't open, and we didn't shovel the walk-way yet, so for now, we are chosing to remain hostage in our house and enjoy a little down together!
