Let it Snow!

This morning we woke up to eight inches of freshly fallen snow - a storm that blanketed the Northeast from Alabama to Maine. I actually started up my snowblower, something I had not done at all in New Jersey. The kids were fascinated as they made snow angels. Holly and constructed our own snowman while Amy had a snowfight with the boys and a neighbor. Folks up north call this kind of snow "poor man's fertilizer". This particular storm began on Sunday March 1 with rain, ice and sleet, making travel quite hazardous. We didn't even try to go to church. The weather condition worsened throughout the day. Holly's parents lost power at their home on Smith Mountain Lake, only an hour away.

Time for hot chocolate! Go make a memory!

I understand we had a foot.We went to Harrisburg on Sat. to visit supporters, stayed with Jay, drove back to Philly on Sunday with him for a performance he was in and then back to Hbrg as it was starting. Dan drove back to our apartment to spend the night since the refinery workers were on strike and got snowed in. We really missed it for the most part. A dusting. Been thinking about you all lately. Nice picture of Amy!
