Snow Day

A couple of days last week, it snowed like crazy! What was weird though was that the day before, the high was 70. It was glorious. And then we got all this: 

It was actually kinda fun. The morning after the main snow day & night, there were about 8 inches on the cars. No one was prepared for it, including us, so we just kind of holed up and ran out of milk. Thank goodness for a massive Costco run when things calmed down a little later. Even cold and wet, Emmett had fun exploring.

Emmett's awesome bedhead on snow day 2. I think he was a fan of all the white.

The trees were totally trashed. There were branches allllll over the place and in some places in our neighborhood the streets were basically obstacle courses. 

The front yard

 The cars under these trees were extremely fortunate; some of them got boxed in by all the branches, but no one's car was smushed. 

Anyway, we and our neighbors think all the damage was because there were still so many leaves on the trees, and the snow was really wet and heavy. But thankfully, no harm done as far as we know. A lot of has melted by now, but there's still a surprising amount around on the ground. Remember all that talk of how ready for winter I was? Yeah. Not so. I'm already tired of being cold. Haha. Dang it.
