Blizzard of 2013 - After...

Thanking God we did not lose power.  Both my Mother and sister are without power.  My Mother for the third time in what feels like about 1 year.  She lost it for 7 days during Sandy and 10 days during the other storm earlier in the summer.  Poor thing.  She is safe with the neighbor tonight, though.  Thanks, Bruce!  Not sure where my sister ended up, but crossing fingers she and her family are staying warm tonight!

Not surprisingly, the kids had a ball in the snow!  Lisa plowed us out and a few of the neighbors.  There are lots of angels on the street helping out the elderly and those without a snow blower so everyone gets out safe.  I am thankful for that too.

So, we ended up with 29 inches of snow, essentially 2 and a half feet!  The drifts are up to 5 feet and the piles of snow are up there too!  Here are a few pics from the day.  Tomorrow is supposed to be super bright and sunny so I will get out there and see if I can get some even better photos.

Almost lost the mailbox!

 Snow on the roof is not too bad!  YAY!

Blizzard of 2013 - First Look

Well Hello!  Here we are waiting for the EPIC Blizzard to cover us in SNOW!  Since it has been snowing since 10:30am we decided to go out and check out the progress.  The kids were squealing with excitement!  (me too, for that matter)  Here are a few of the photos so far.  We wanted a before and AFTER view on the onslaught of snow.  As of 6:45pm Concord, MA had about 4 inches.  We are hoping for 30 inches by tomorrow noon!

For all those in the Northeast, stay warm and safe!  For the rest, enjoy the snow photos!  We will post more in the morning!   

Getting Ready for the Snowball battle!  Nothing better than a snowball maker.

SNOW FALLING!

If we only had a freezer for these!!
