Storm Nemo Aftermath

First the great news...we still have power!!!
We were all praying so hard that we wouldn't lose it.  I kept waking up all through the night and hearing my sound machine--so I knew we still had power.
So.Very.Thankful.

I did get to see a bit of snow lightening last night--although didn't hear the thunder that some heard.  Pretty cool.
The wind was howling all night long--amazing.  We had documented 76 MPH winds.  I could hear the trees creaking and I held my breath as the power flickered now and then, but never went out.  Thank you, God!

We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning.  It was so beautiful and AMAZING.  I'm told we officially got 22 inches. 

Since we have power....all that is left is F.U.N!!!
Except for Jeff and Taylor--they had to dig us out.
The kids played and I took photos.

So without further ado....here are the images from this morning.


















































































They are all rested up now and pulling their snow stuff out of the dryer for round two.  I think I'll follow and join the fun.
I love a good blizzard!
I just have tiny bit of sadness that New England is so efficient at clearing it.  When I was a kid, if we had gotten en epic storm like this, we would have been snowed in for 4 days.
It looks like our roads are pretty clear already.  We have a driving ban until 4PM and after that, I am guessing there will be a lot of people out trying to see the piles of snow.
Wah.
We should have been able to milk this for at least 3 days! HA!
