It just won't stop snowing!! This is by far the most snow Khai has ever seen in his life. It all started the last day of January - a Sunday - Khai woke up thrilled to see snow had fallen all over the yard and of course immediately wanted to go outside. But we were in for a REAL snowfall a few days later. By noon on Friday the snow was falling fairly heavily and the office closed down four hours early. By Saturday morning we woke to snow that cam
e half way up Khai. The blizzard of 2010 had come and hit us hard. The following day was sunny and neighbors were outside digging their way out. We spent hours outside trying to clear the snow off our cars and driveway... but there was no way to get out of the neighborhood. The roads were nowhere near plowed and with the amount of snow that had fallen, the plows weren't coming into the neighborhoods anytime soon. So we kept digging. Come Monday,
schools and businesses were closed and most remained closed the rest of the week. We continued to dig. By then someone in the neighborhood who had their own plow came thru and cleared the road next to our house and a few others that lead to the main road - it was just a matter of getting to that road. Freedom was so close... Eventually, some idiot who had no business driving his car down the unplowed street got his car stuck and had to manually dig his way out. It took about three hours but he made it and this allowed the rest of us to get out (yay!). Khai and I took several walks around the neighborhood, checking out the massive snow piles, the huge icicles, buried cars, and floppy snowmen. And then blizzard # 2 hit and dumped another 6 inches on our already 25 plus inches. There will be snow for months to come for him to stomp on. We are still digging.
