We knew this storm was coming - it had been predicted for over a week. I shopped for groceries and the kids hoped they wouldn't have school on Friday, as it was supposed to start snowing around 5pm. Then they moved the storm up to start at 12noon and cancelled school on Friday. And I finally realized that they were talking about not being able to leave our house for 3 days. So, we cleaned and grocery shopped some more on Friday morning so we would have lots of yummy food and a clean house before all the wet snow gear got dropped in our front hallway! Oh, and Friday was our 16th Anniversary, so the marriage conference we were going to attend and our dinner out got cancelled!
It began snowing around 12noon and it stuck to the ground and streets immediately! The kids got to sled Friday afternoon and the snow kept coming down all through the night and all day Saturday! It was crazy and a crazy amount of snow! We officially got 34 inches of snow! The kids have been off all this following week. Dan was off of work Monday and Tuesday. He had a delayed opening Wednesday and Thursday :) There are still not sidewalks plowed, but we have had the electricity and heat and yummy food! It was such a nice break to spend together as a family and not be able to go anywhere!
Dan and I on our Anniversary!

The Great Dig Out of 2016! Clearing off cars and shoveling, only to carry it over to the other side of the street to dump it!
We were excited to finally have a snowplow come through on Monday!
