Finally!
Well - we got some snow - about 2-3 inches - this morning. People around here were going *nuts*. I swear to God, don't these people remember the snow blizzard we had 11 years ago? Now that was some crazy snow! The Governor closed the roads and no one was allowed to drive.
Husband and I were renting in a really cute duplex in Asbury Park. Yeah, I know Asbury is a dump but the one section where we lived was pretty decent. Husband's car was, at one point, completely buried under the snow. I think I have a picture of him standing on the snow drift that was covering the car. To add more fun to the critical weather conditions, I was 4 1/2 months pregnant. I had no balance to begin with so add some ice and I was slipping and sliding everywhere.
Here's a few pics from a different snowstorm in 2004:
In this picture, Husband had to go out the back door because we were unable to open the front door due to serious snow drifts. He ended up hopping over our 6ft stockade fence because he was unable to open it due to the massive amount of snow piled in front of and behind the gate.
We paid this guy $20 to shovel out all the snow from the end of our driveway and the road. He did it in 10 minutes. If we shovelled it all out ourselves, it would have taken 3 hours. Seriously.
I decided - at 7am - to cancel Eldest's afternoon Girl Scout meeting. It was snowing and looked like it could be a potentially messy situation later today. Of course now, as I glanced out my bedroom window, it's not snowing at all. ::sigh:: Maybe that's not a bad thing as I can just relax at home and work on laundry. Ewww - laundry.
Stay warm people. Enjopy the snow!

We got it too. There's white stuff on the ground. It looks pretty. Now, hopefully it'll melt by tomorrow and we'll be done with snow for this winter! LOL!
