"...and Remember, This is for Posterity, So...Be Honest"


How do you feel? We've been digging ourselves out of snowbanks for 3 days (see how hard he's pushing? That, children, is called leverage). The post I wrote on Saturday? Yeah, at 7am, at the START of the great Blizzard of 2010. The roof of the Metrodome collapsed, the cities pulled all the plows off the road because it was too dangerous, and Tim drove a sweet lady to work at the hospital. When he came home, he said it was like Armageddon; trucks and cars sideways in the exit ramps, countless cars in the ditches, insanity. She took an overnight bag. People on Facebook and blogs had all sorts of names for the blizzard: SnOMG and Snomageddon were my favorites. At the end we ended up with 22 inches or so, and then it blew all around in little snow tornadoes all over the place. You could hear it from inside the house (the call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!!!) Incidentally, C. Awesome went through 3 snowblowers. Big ones.

So there you are. Now pictures. :)

Looks harmless, pretty even. But you can't even see where C. Awesome snowblowed...
Where are all the cars, Santa?











Our neighbors. I believe this is their first winter outside of Mexico. They shared their shovels with the Nigerians...Minnesota nice went international on my street.






Even the DOG had to put on his coat.





It went pretty well.  

That's a lot of snow for 8am
