snowmaggedon twenty-twelve.

back in January, it snowed. and snowed. and snowed some more! it was so much fun. i think by the end the grand total of snow was around 10". we would've had more but it warmed up a few times & melted a little before it dumped more snow. the kids missed a week of school & we lost power for 3.5 days! luckily our new house came with a built in whole house generator! yes, friends, WHOLE HOUSE. that means, as soon as the power goes out, the generator kicks on automatically & it can power pretty much the whole house. 

each day we'd trudge around in the snow, building bunkers for snowball fights, making snow angels, sledding down the hill at the park & playing board games with our neighbors! in fact, they stayed with us while the power was out.

the kids hated that the power was "out" {we didn't turn on the tv or watch movies etc} but they loved all the snow! they keep asking when is it gonna snow again! 





looking down our street. a huge front loader came and plowed the road!


notice that tree in the front. well, it snapped in half from the weight of the ice. boo :( 







& a couple hrs later, the road was back covered again! 


looking up the street from our house

the tree is beginning to fold over
