Blizzard of 2010

the snow was so deep they couldn't even walk in it.

D.C gets a little crazy here with all the snow. On Wed. they closed school for about 2 inches of snow. Then the big storm was supposed to hit Friday and Sat. We never know if the weather man is going to be right so I wasn't quite sure we were going to get big snow. We missed the big snow in December and Dave was so upset so I was hoping for his sake we would get a lot of snow. So basically all this snow is for Dave. I went to the store Tuesday thinking I was smart getting prepared. It was crazy! People were buying out all the milk and bread. I have never seen so many people in the grocery store. I spent over a half hour in line and I was halfway down the food isle in line. It was chaos. My mom said it was funny because I should have been more prepared but I felt like I was I just needed the essential, milk and bread cheese and fresh stuff. We go through a lot of milk around here. I saw a lady with the whole bottom of her cart full of water bottles so I went back and got a pack of those too. Then Thursday night I went crazy thinking I was going to be stuck inside my house all weekend with nothing to do so I ran out quickly and bought a sewing book with new fun projects to try. It was really funny to see all the craziness. So we were all ready for the storm and it was beautiful! I don't think I have ever seen so much snow. It just kept coming and coming. There was a lot of snow by Friday night when we went to bed and the big storm was supposed to come on Saturday. None of our shows were on because the news had to be on forever telling us how to be safe in the snow. It was a little excessive. We woke up Saturday to tons of snow. I bet we had over 2 feet, we measured Sat morning and it was 18 inches. A tree right by our front door had been weighed down with so much snow it was pulled up out of the ground. Another branch from a tree in the back had fallen down on our fence. Luckilly it didn't break anything. We have a lot of huge trees around us so it is a miracle that more damage wasn't done. It was a beautiful day to play out in then snow and it was fun to see all the neighbors out. Now I have to go back out and get more bread before the next storm on Tuesday.
