The Blizzard of 2018

It's Tuesday night March 13th.  There is no end in sight to Winter.  Amy and Aden are behind me watching the Good Doctor.  I don't get that show.  I'm headed to the basement to watch something better.  Speaking of Winter, last Wednesday we had a pretty unexpected blizzard.  We woke up in the morning to light snow.  School and work was cancelled but the roads were clear till around 11 so everyone was wondering if we should have had the day off.  
 We had some leftover doughnuts.  
 Then worked off those doughnuts.  
 Then the sky exploded.  It was a total white out from like 11-5.
 It got high fast!
 Look how deep it is on the table.
 Let's do some baking.



 Deeper and deeper.
 We didn't go outside at all.  It was too awful out.  
 Then around 4pm, for the 2nd time in the 10 years we have been in this house, we lost power.  
 We were able to make hamburgers on the stove top and have a romantic candle lit dinner.
 We thought the twins would be scared but they seemed to enjoy it.
 We actually ran around and played tag with flashlights.
 Thankfully we got plowed out.
Ariel read to the boys with flashlights.  

Bed time.  We layered blankets on everyone.  
 The power came back on around 10:30.  As you can see, the house was down to 60 degrees.  
We got about 16"!
This was from the next day.  I saw a picture of the Eagle Jason Kelce and his snowman!
