Blizzard Bust

On Tuesday, a major storm was predicted to hit Connecticut and most of New England.  Although some forecasters predicted that we would get more than three feet of snow, we ended up only getting about 21 inches. That was good enough for a state-wide travel ban, a day off from work and two days off from school - but overall, the "blizzard" was a bust. 

We went out to dinner on Monday night, thinking we'd be stuck at home for days if the storm was the real deal.  While we were eating, one of the local weather men put up this graphic and the entire restaurant went dead silent.  Thankfully, we got less than half of what he predicted.

When I took this shot on Monday night, it had been snowing off and on for about five hours.

You can see Lee cleaning off the cars - although it drifted a lot, the snow was just past his knees in most areas.

Emily and I went for a long walk late Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday was brutally cold with the wind so the girls didn't play outside but they took advantage of the snow day and warm sun on Wednesday.
