Photos of the storm

Took some pictures as promised during a brief lull. It prompt started back up after 5 minutes with those big fluffy flakes coming down at a pretty good clip!

Check out the icicles hanging from the gutter!

The Snowpocalypse is upon us!

Checking in early this morning, 7 am, before I head back to bed...

Work is closed, day care is closed & more of the white death is falling (quite heavily I might add) outside.

Woo!

It's so funny that everyone freaks out around here. I was watching the Jackets game last night on the toob and Coach Hitchcock has a press conference after every game and some had mentioned the weather. Hitch just laughed and mentioned something about it not being a snow storm unless you have to fire up your block heater & it gets to 50+ below zero...

:)

I'll take some pictures later and post them up for all of your enjoyment! Continue reading >>

Crazy weather day!

What a crazy weather day!

Bucketfuls of snow this morning, about 8 inches. I ended up staying at home with Nicklaus as his daycare was closed for the day. I did log into work to check on things and everything was peachy keen.

I took a couple of pictures of our backyard this morning around 8am.

It would snow off and on all day then around 3:30pm it started to change over to sleet/freezing rain.

Eric had gone out a bit ago to carve out a snow tunnel/cave in the huge mound of snow that was piled up at the side of our driveway. It's pretty cool... :)

We just got in a few minutes ago from horsing around outside - pulling each other around on a sled, winding around the trees in the backyard & sliding down our uber icy driveway on a sled.

There's about a 1/4" of ice on everything outside and the cul-de-sac is just an ice rink. And it's still raining out there so tomorrow morning's commute is going to be a blast. :| Continue reading >>

Aaahhh!

You know it would be nice if people would tell you that things are broken so they can be looked at and fixed.

You know in a pro-active manner instead of in a reactive manner...

Why?!

Why?



Meh.

I need a beer. Continue reading >>
