Back to Back Blizzards

The first weekend of February we got hit with 3 feet of snow in 24 hours. What an adventure! We lost power at 2:00 AM on Saturday morning. We stayed at our house all day thinking it would come back on any minute. It didn't. Most of the base had lost power but our friends, The Bradshaws, got their power back Saturday evening. They invited us to stay at their house until our power came back. Luckily, Brandon and I had been shoveling the van out throughout the day. Unfortunately, the Bradshaw's street had not been plowed. We parked our car on the main road (in a parking spot that they shoveled for us) and trekked through a maze of paths to their house. Our power did not come back on at our house until early Monday morning. Our house was sitting at a frosty 54 degrees. We had a blast hanging out with our friends but we were happy to be in our own beds again.

Two days later, another blizzard hit. This one had more wind and less snow. It was hard to tell how much snow we got because of the drifts. We think we got about 12-18 inches. Luckily, our power stayed on! The bad news is, we all got sick. The good news, Brandon didn't have work all week!

Brandon's car is in there somewhere.

Looking at your front walk reminds me of the March I was pregnant with Eli. That's about what ours looked like too.
