Here are some pictures from Christmas weekend. We had a terrible storm blow snow and cold everywhere. There were 20 of us snowed in at Mom and Dad's. The electricity went out as we were getting ready to go to Midnight Mass. It was great because we each took turns using flashlights to get dressed. Not your typical Christmas Eve. Dad did try to start the generator, but ended up blowing up one TV, one DVD player, one sound system (which they fixed later), the power supply to the Wii, one microwave and the surge protector for the big screen TV. EXCITING!!! The electricity did come on after a bit and all was ok. I think it was a blessing actually because we couldn't use the excuse of watching movies...we had to actually play games and come up with things to do as a family. Good memories!!!
Take note - the ice was formed pointed out instead of down. That was a crazy wind we had!
Mom's clothesline, I think its pretty with the ice covered clothes pins.
The back yard - a winter wonderland of our own.
A close up shot of one of the trees.
This is the drift on the east side of the house. Notice the cat on the side??
The front of the house, facing south, with the deck snowed in to the first landing.
This is the neighbor's barn across the road (south of the house). Its hard to see, but the barn was covered from ground to roof. Notice the road is clear though. The plow came through on Sunday and it took a bit for him to clear out the road just south of the barn. Its always bad there, so we weren't surprised.
