Blizzard

Cars are buried in snowdrifts, people are stranded in their houses, and friends in Texas are reporting sub-freezing temperatures. Yes, my dear readers, global warming is upon us.

After being summoned from my nice, WARM bed this morning, this is what greeted me when I looked out the kitchen window:


The awesome thing about this is that, when people heard there was a blizzard coming, they were like, "Cool. Hey, the Packers are going to the Superbowl." But if North Carolina was expecting 1 inch of snow, there'd be panic and all Walmarts would be raided for bread and milk. Hahaha.

Snow on the icicles

Blizzards are fun until you've been out shoveling in 20 degree weather with 20 mph. winds for an hour and a half. And that's after you've gotten 1/10 of your driveway done. Thank goodness for nice neighbors with snowblowers.

The patio table!

Last night, when we could hardly see out the window, we were pretty sure we saw a lightning flash. Is that possible in a blizzard? I will leave you with that profound thought. Stay warm!

  1. Haha! Our kitchen windows looked just like that too! My dad was a maniac yesterday, shoveling the snow..he just wouldn't stop! But then our neighbor came over with some scoopy machine...but that was after he almost finished! Jenna and I went out to the backyard and traveled our way through it all, finding tables and sandboxes buried alive. Jenna said: "we traveled the un-charted territory of the backyard!" haha! and then we tried to go help my dad but got kicked out when we started throwing snow chunks at each other! haha!
    So yeah, good luck global warming supporters, explaining this one away. Actually my mom read that Al Gore said that signs of global warming are extreme weather, hot and cold. Uhhh....nice try?
