The Blizzard

Blizzard Day One

Blizzard Day One

It has been snowing like crazy and last Friday and Saturday we were hit with a blizzard here in Maryland. We still had about 6 inches on the ground from the last snow and we were supposed to get 20 - 30 inches more. We decided to get snowed in at my mom's house for the weekend. My step dad was out of town so we wanted to be there to help my mom dig herself out when the snowstorm was over. We didn't know just how interesting our weekend would be.

Layla has never liked the snow but she was excited to put on her snow boots (she loves her shoes) and go outside. She never seems to get cold. She ran outside without her coat on. I had to run out and get her before she froze!

She would not touch the "white stuff" but she was definitely interested in it.

We made it to my mom's fine. I did not even know Eaan had unloaded the car! I could not see him with his camouflage on. :)

That night Eaan, my brother and I walked to the neighbor's house. When I left the snowstorm was going full force. Trees were already down and I had to pretty much wade home while fighting the wind. It was crazy but awesome at the same time. :) The next morning we woke up to A LOT of snow, wind and some downed trees. This one fell on our zip line.

Then a second tree fell on the zip line...we were afraid the zip line was going to snap.

This could be bad...Eaan can figure it out...when he wakes up.

The trees had almost hit the house.

Trees just kept falling.

One almost fell on Jeff's boat.

The wind made it hard to see.

The common driveway.

Trees down here too. No one can get out now.

Mom thought she might be able to move the tree on her own. She gave it a good effort.

The main road...

All this and it was only eleven in the morning. The rest of the day was even better. It involved stuck vehicles, chainsaws, lots of snow blowing, shoveling and more downed trees.
