The winter of '09/'10 will long live in our memories as the winter the world ended twice. News coverage ominously dubbed the first blizzard Snowmageddon, and the second blizzard Snowpocolypse. That's right. Not one, but two blizzards. The first blizzard hit in December the week before Christmas, creating a Thomas Kincade-esque Christmas. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings filled with playing in the snow, drinking hot chocolate, shoveling snow for neighbors, Christmas music, snow ball fights, etc. etc. etc. The second blizzard hit in February while Ben was out of town, and we were house bound for two long weeks, creating more of a "One Flew over a Cuckoo's Nest" imagery. Everyone survived. Barely. Below are a couple of pics of the blizzards.
Avery liked to spend her outside time eating the snow. Don't worry. She knew to avoid the yellow snow.
Cars were stuck in the parking lot for several days. One of the benefits of Snowmageddon and Snowpocolypse was a coming together of neighbors to help shovel each other out.
Our neighbors built a snow slide and the kids slid down it like penguins.

We called it "Snowpocalypse" around these parts. I hated it. The sidewalks were icy, but the sidewalk brushes on campus basically polished the ice.
