Blizzard March 08

Well we experienced our first big snow storm here in ohio today and yesterday. Now I will preference this with we had several storms of similar magnitude in Boston. However people in Ohio are not prepared to deal with storms of this size. We have about 12-15 inches of snow. Esimation is difficult due to the blowing snow which caused drifting. The conditions were pretty nasty this morning and most of the day. The only ones at our house enjoying the snow are the dogs. I thought I would post a few pictures. Oh and I want to give a shout out to Amy and Jessie who made it to Columbus during a lull in the storm on Saturday early morning (2am) but have been stuck there because the roads are too bad for us to drive the 80 or so miles to pick them up. Luckily they were able to find a hotel! I really hope I can see you ladies tomorrow!!!

The first snow of the season here in Dayton

This morning we woke up to 3 or so inches of snow and it was still coming down. The dogs had a great time playing in it. They were racing all over the yard. They didn't seem to mind the cold. When they came in they had quite a bit of snow stuck in their fur. I got some of it off but didn't worry about the rest because it is just water. However apparently that wasn't good enough for Toby who proceed to lick all the clumps off and eat them! Silly dog. Quincy on the other hand could have cared less. The two of them just crack me up.

The road weren't bad yet they still canceled school for all of the local districts. I miss snow days! There were some kids out playing when I went to work around 9am. I think the last snow day I had was in college when we got several feet of very wet snow. I can remember walking home the day it started down folsom hill in 6-12 inches of very slushy snow. I was wet up to my thighs and freezing when I got home. The next day I can remember tying plastic bags over my shoes and walking to Sean's house. I didn't have any boots at the time. He thought I looked really silly but it mostly kept my feet dry. I have boots now! I had to buy some when we lived in Mass.

Any one having any other entertaining snow day stories they want to share?
