Blizzard of 2010

Cody and I have officially survived our first Blizzard. This past weekend there were winds of 35 miles an hour and we acquired approximately 30 inches of snow in a matter of two days. Here are some pictures. Below is a photograph of my car. I named my car snowflake when I first purchased her because I bought her in December. I thought the name I had given her was appropriate, but Cody told me this past weekend that I needed to re-name her snowball.

This is Cody posing with his truck. All we had to uncover our cars was a broom and dust pan. We tried purchasing a shovel when we heard we were getting this much snow, but the man at the store said that Virginia was sold out of shovels. While I'm hacking at the snow with my dust pan I heard a sweet old man asked if I would mind if he used his snow blower to unberry my vehicle.
Of course I didn't mind! Thanks to this old man my car was ready to drive in a matter of minutes.

Here are a few more photos Cody took of the nature preserve near our apartment after the snow had fallen.

We have had one sunny day since this snow storm and it is predicted that between 7pm tonight and 7pm tomorrow night we are expected to get another 20 inches. I can not tell you how much I miss the Texas sunshine. I'm sick of stocking up on food and fighting with people in the grocery store over the last gallon of milk. And I would like to be able to drive my car to the mall. I have not gone shopping in over a week. Matter of fact the mall has been closed due to the bad weather. I was hoping they would have a huge sale going on for all of the crazy people who risked their lives driving there.
