BLIZZARDS!

We have sadly participated in a historic moment for Philadelphia...it has been the snowiest winter ever. Even sadder, because we are only half way through winter.

In one week we have had two blizzards. The first one dropped 23" and this last one 17". The first one wasn't too bad because it happened Friday and gave everyone the weekend to dig out. The second one, though, occurred Tuesday night and has wreaked havoc. The girls and I have gotten the rest of the week off. Austin braved going in to work today but said some of the roads were horrible. On the bright side, the electricity never went off and the girls are now having lots of fun playing in the snow.
