We broke the all time snow record for this region. We've gotten 54.9 inches, barely breaking the old record that was set in 1898-1899 of 54.4. This year has gotten more snow than the last 5 years combined. I guess that's kind of cool to say that we were here during the snowiest season EVER!
Today is the first day that Matt has missed work. We woke up to blowing snow and whiteout conditions (not to mention the Blizzard Warnings). Yesterday they told everyone they would work on a 4-hour delay, so Matt was planning on heading out there. Then we saw on Facebook that friends had already tried and they had FINALLY closed the base. I guess that's very unusual, they never close the base!
And even though every news show (which have been on all day!) has said "Do not drive if you don't absolutely have to!," my husband absolutely had to. He and Christian chained up the Camry and drove around the neighborhood. Then, when more kids came over he took all of them out for a spinning fun time. So glad I have an excuse not to join the fun!
It's been another pajama day. I baked some bread and put some meat in the crockpot, my favorite way to cook. We've watched some movies and painted nails. Just another snow day!
And since I didn't take any pictures, here's the boys silly video. They took 4 and I believe this is #3. You can see them all on Matt's Facebook page.
(and even though it doesn't look like it, there really is a ton of snow blowing!)
