Blizzard 09

We had a big snow yesterday. We were between the 12 inches in Rochester and the 16 or so in Winona. I think it all depends on where you measure.

For example, in the dark of the morning we had about 2-3 feet in front of the garage

Yet none at the downstairs door

That is bare concrete ground. Now if that had been in front of the garage I might have gotten to work.

But then there was a blowing snow issue

Of course, it really isn’t appreciated in the dark, but in the light of day…

A bit blowey.

The dogs weren’t really sure what to think-except that going outside wasn’t looking like much fun.

The cat is unfazed. One pane only.

Cody was working in Rochester. I called him at 0h-eight-hundred to tell him he might want to rethink the coming home plan. No dice.

He made it home. 25 miles in an hour. Unfortunately the driveway remained impassable so as soon as he got home, he and Dave decided to shovel. Dave had been getting the itch for about an hour. Myself-Not so much.

This is how it went down.

She looks a little concerned.

So, you get the picture. We, on the inside, felt intellectually and morally superior.

Because on the outside it was windy and cold.

 

And we were, well, inside.

I did finish up a few of these..

40 total.

And did I put up a few pictures of the tree?

This year we have added live decorations for an interactive effect.

It takes our mind off of this

Isn’t the beach background great behind the blizzard blog? Twisted!
