Snowzilla 2016

For once in their lives, I guess the weathermen were right... it came, it snowed, it's still snowing... We probably have 16 inches right now, and it's still snowing.  We're supposed to get up to another foot today.  This place is going to be paralyzed.  I wonder when we'll ever go back to school?  It think we'll be lucky if we're back on Monday - maybe Tuesday.  Zack went to a sleepover yesterday evening and it looks like he'll be staying until tomorrow.  No way we are going to get up our hill today.  But, they were prepared for the boys to stay a couple of nights and I guess they are having a ball.  They shoveled, are sledding and just hanging out!
Cooper waiting for his "pee spot" to be shoveled out.

Zoey is not as fond of the snow, it's a little more difficult for her to get around.  She's not quite as limber or leggy as Cooper.  She's a bit more "dense" than Cooper, not quite as bouncy.  But once we got a couple of paths laid out for her, she was good to go.

Probably the most snow we've had in 3-5 years!

Thanks goodness for the cul-de-sac snowblower

Really a shit ton of snow!
Zack and his buds!

So far so good.  As long as the power stays on, we're set.

Tragedy Averted

No need to panic... the story has a happy ending!  Our Naked Gnome was freezing his ass off....literally!!!


Now he's safe, sound and warming his ass nicely, just like the rest of us!

Here it comes....

It's beginning... We did get yesterday off.. I guess it was a "Snow Anticipation Day."  Today we got off as well... again I guess "Really Anticipating the Snow Day."   I got a nice 6.5 pre-blizzard run in this morning, it was cold, but it was actually pretty good.  I figure I'll be sitting around all day tomorrow and Sunday... 

The snow actually started right on predicted time... I guess we'll see if the totals are on point as well...

It's coming.... Snowzilla 2016

The entire area is all a twitter... the biggest snow storm in 100 years is bearing down on us and you would think it was the end days approaching!  The stores are a mess, there is a pool at work as to how many days we're going to miss.  They actually gave us a 2hour delay yesterday because it was Brrr... cold.  So, I'm not sure what's going to happen when the actual snow hits.  Madness, mayhem and
anarchy!  We're predicted to get 2'-3'....that's FEET!!  Which in all fairness, if it does hit, will paralyze this place.   It's supposed to start Friday afternoon and snow all through Saturday.  I guess we'll see, if the weathermen are actually going to get anything right .
