Beginning of Snowmaggedon

The beginning of the snow came later on Wednesday night, after the kids went to all of their activities (thankfully!!) and we were all tucked into bed. We expected a snow day on Thursday, because all of the forecasts were so foreboding. Accuweather's website called this a 'paralyzing blizzard' and I think originated the term 'snowicane'. In any event, on Thursday morning when we indeed woke up to a snow day from school, Potter measured almost 3 inches on the driveway. Dave stayed home, not wanting to risk driving his Thunderchicken up to Cornell. The kids went outside, as did Crash, and they all had a great time in the 5 or so inches that we had at that point. Notice, the car across the street and where the snow is on the back of it. You'll see the progression in photos to come. Also notice that you can see Crash's legs!!!
