Blizzard!

We got blasted with a massive snow storm last week. Everything started Thursday night and the snow continued through Friday. Not only was there plenty of volume (we probably got close to 2 feet), the snow was extremely dense. Trees snapped and broke all night, causing power outages and traffic nightmares. We've never seen anything quite like it. By the time we dug the car out and decided it was safe enough to hit the roads, plenty of damage was done. All of the roads were littered with branches and we saw entire trees uprooted from their homes. Wires were down everywhere.

Thankfully, we weren't without power for long, unlike most, who didn't have electricity through the weekend. When our power went out, Mercer got upset. He thought that bringing a candle into a room would turn on the lights. But after some discussions, Mercer got used to the idea.

For kids, though, snow means something entirely different: fun!
