We had a beautiful blizzard over Super Bowl weekend! It started snowing overnight Saturday into Sunday, and when we woke up we had about 8 inches on the ground and covering Ryan's car. It continued to snow perfect snow throughout the day and we finished with around 16 inches. Happily, our tennis lessons were cancelled, so once we dug out Ryan, we went sledding! We got an hour in before the 2 p.m. blizzard warning hit. Like clockwork, at 1:58 I looked outside and it was nearly a white out with the blustery wind blowing the snow. While we were out playing it was still relatively warm (if appropriately attired in full ski gear!) and virtually no wind.
Dylan and Tyler's dad, Dave, created this awesome snow fort when the snow was fresh. We all checked it out before Ryan left. Well, Tyler mostly wanted to eat the snow!
We had two families over to watch the Super Bowl that evening. Two more had to cancel due the weather and sickness. Since the boys out numbered the girls 3 to 1, there was a lot of running and battles happening in the background. The big excitement in our neighborhood was the McDonalds "Pay with Lovin'" commercial which was filmed at the McDonalds in our subdivision and had many neighbors in it!
School was cancelled for Monday as the snow fall was too much for the plows to keep up with before morning. My work was not closed, but I didn't want to get my car out so I took the bus to the train and waited and waited and waited. Luckily Megan and I had been on the bus together so had someone to chat with. After 40 minutes, we walked to a Starbucks and waited for Dave to come pick us up for work at home/play at home days. Not sure if it was the sledding, shoveling the back deck for Rachel, or traipsing through the snow to Starbucks (including a fall on an icy street), but my body was exhausted on Monday! It has taken most of the week for my muscles to stop hurting. Guess I need to workout more.
