It was a doozy!

The reports were unbelievable, 6-10″ of snow - then, all of a sudden, the reporters started adding more - calling for 6-14″ of snow!! They were right in the middle as we received a little over one foot of snow!!

Because the snow was so heavy, it blocked my satellite picture until the snow was so heavy on that sloping surface that it finally just fell off. The disturbing trend that happened overnight was the fact the power went out about five times. Each time it went out, it was only for 30 seconds or so but as I was going down stairs, at 4:00 AM to check on things, I saw some large flashes of light from outside that looked like a transformer or something was blowing up. I’m not sure what it was, but I decided to disconnect my outdoor lighting circuit just in-case.

Here are a few pictures to show you just how great/bad it was:

I wish I would have taken these pictures earlier in the day as the snow was twice the size; we had sunshine all afternoon and it melted half the snow!	Yes, my wonderful sloping backyard with the ugly set of trees.
As you can see, the sun did a great job of cleaning off my car before I ended up having to do it! Woohoo!	Same thing with my wife’s car, no cleaning for me!
