The Big Storm

Yes we were one of the 17 states affected by the big snow storm this week. It started tue night, and it started with thunder. I asked Brad if he had ever heard thunder in a blizzard before, nope, so maybe that was a warning it was going to be a bad one. By 3 am the wind was blowing like crazy (pretty much sideways too). The next morning Brad left to go to the hospital, but came back in after a while. He had been trying to shovel his car out of the snow when our neighbor told him that even if he could get his car out he would not make it down the street, we were definitely snowed in. I think we were supposed to get 20 in, but what made it so bad was the drifts from the wind. Luckily when he came in he had an email from his resident telling him that the snow was bad so he should not come in. It took the guys in our apartment complex a chunk of the day to shovel out all the cars (and luckily the plow finally came too). I would have gone down the street to take more pictures (because there are still cars that are covered in snow) but I find myself attached to the house and this little girl of mine so I just have pictures outside our apartment.

Here is the drift that was outside our window, blocking my spy window.

Here is the road that Brad wasn't going to get down.

Here is Brad's car still covered in snow.

Here is our driveway.

At least we had a path cut out for our sidewalk.
