The meteorologists for once were 100% right. We got hit by a huge blizzard last week. The wind was so strong, at one point it ripped through our attic, lifting the attic door slightly then slamming it down. I believe it dumped about 20 in of snow on our area. That is taller than Lauren was at birth! It was hard for me to imagine how much we really got because our door is basically in a huge wind tunnel and all the snow blew right past us into the parking lot. The kids had two snow days and we enjoyed it. Unfortunately the second snow day it was much too cold to go out and enjoy the snow. I am talking -12 before wind chill! That is so cold that when you walk outside right away your inside of your nose freeze and does not defrost until you have been back in the warmth for about 20 minutes. LOL I took some pictures for your enjoyment. okay, who am I kidding? I needed to record this historic event. They are saying it was the 2 worse winter storm in history! (Or at least since they started recording such things.)

| Our window about 2 hours into the storm. The wind was blowing so hard I could not get a picture of the outside. |

| The morning after. If was still snowing, but the wind had died down. |

| The view outside our door. |
 |
| The businesses behind us. Yes, the snow is drifted halfway up the walls and doors! |
 |
| That is our van under all that snow.. In the background is a 6 ft. fence. You can see how high the snow was. |

| Random snow drift in our parking lot. |
