Merry Christmas! What do you mean that was nearly three months ago? We have 14+ inches of snow outside...it can't possibly be March! And yes, you heard correctly. Between 9 a.m. on Friday and 5 p.m. on Saturday, we got hit with a lovely spring blizzard. With all the wind, there was a lot of drifting, and we ended up with close to 20 inches in some spots. But according to the weather people, our official count was at 14.
Fortunately for Eric, he had planned to work from home on Friday as we were scheduled to have our new living room carpet installed. We'd pulled up the old carpet on Thursday, hauled it to the trash, and moved all of the furniture. You can imagine our panic as we were faced with the realization that, if we really got the snow storm they had predicted, there was a chance that we'd be living with a cement floor for awhile. Yikes! Luckily for us, we ended up being the contractor's first stop of the morning (thank goodness, since they canceled their afternoon jobs), so we got the carpet in. Phew!
Unfortunately for Kim, she had not planned to work from home! While the drive in to work was okay, conditions got really bad quick. She decided to leave work at lunch and made a long and scary drive home, which included getting stuck on the big hill to our house.
We were very stir crazy all weekend as the only place we were able to go was the end of the driveway...to shovel. But we were able to finish our taxes, put the furniture back in place from the new carpet, and clean the house. Now if only we could get it to warm up 20 degrees!
