Snowed in on Saturday

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Yay! Another weekend blizzard! OK, while it may not technically be a blizzard, about 2 feet of snow and lots of wind is pretty close for me.

A picture from out our front window, looking towards the neighbors.

And since we’re stuck inside, we’re looking for things to do, short of going all Donner Party and cannibalizing each other. So Caroline played ballerina.

And she’s sleeping peacefully at the moment, along with Daisy (the dog, in case you forgot). The weird way the wind has been blowing has dropped only about 2 inches of snow on the sidewalk near the mulch where Daisy does her business. Of course, there’s about 2 feet of snow in the mulch, so the sidewalk will have to do for now.

Just finished playing some Wii Sports with Victoria. She kicked my butt in tennis, baseball was a draw, golf was close, and I actually won bowling (thought she was going to fling the remote through the TV while bowling).

It looks like it might have finally stopped snowing (around 3:15pm). The plow is supposed to come through around 5:00; I’ll see what else I’ll need to clear away after they’re through. The driveway in the picture above is a private driveway and not a city street, so we have to pay to get it plowed. But since a city plow won’t likely visit my neighborhood at all, I really don’t mind.
