Since the 24th of January we have been getting dumped on by Mother Nature! The biggest storm being on January 27th, what was known as the Blizzard of 2015. We ended up with 14 inches that storm, but areas south of us saw between 2 and even 3 feet of snow! We're making the most of the snow and getting in some sledding and tunnel making.
It would be awesome if it were just a little warmer because it's not as much fun to be out when it's so cold. Plus it might have made some of this snow a little heavier for snowman making! It's been so light and fluffy that we haven't been able to make our annual snowman yet. There is still more time and rumor has it we're looking at another potential chance for significant snow at the end of the week. Not sure some areas will be able to take much more. We've averaged about 10 inches per storm, which is a lot, but not debilitating like other areas. At least so far...
JANUARY 24TH - WHERE IT ALL BEGAN!
Before this snow, we had mostly ice storms. It was nice to have some fluffy stuff to make sledding more fun!

First Big Ski Adventure of 2015 - January 25th
It wouldn't be winter without some skiing! We made plans to meet up and hit the slopes Sunday with our friends. Evan is now old enough for ski camp instead of the day care/1 hr ski lesson he did last year. He spent all day in camp and had so much fun and keeps asking when he can go again!
 |
| Ready for ski camp! |
 |
| The boys hitting the slops! |
 |
| Shaun made it to the top of the mountain! He was pretty proud to ski some blues! |
I opted not to ski this time and hang out with my friend Susan, whom I had not seen since summer! Her girls took a lesson too so we headed over to watch for a bit.

After the girls were done with their lesson, they met up to ski together. David was showing Briana some of his moves! She was able to keep up even though it was her first time.

BLIZZARD OF 2015 - JANUARY 27TH
While we didn't get monstrous amounts of snow like our friends south of us, it snowed all day long and the wind was blowing it all around like crazy! Visibility was very poor and we didn't last very long the few times we ventured outdoors!
 |
| Blizzard = Snow Day = Waffles! |
 |
| The wind gusts were impressive! |
 |
| It's cold! |
 |
| Trying to get a little sledding in, but it was COLD and WINDY! |
 |
| Round 2, made a few runs down the hill! |
 |
| Wipe out! |
The wind was so crazy during this storm that it blew more than a dusting all over our covered deck!
 |
| Blizzard = Snow = Snow Ice Cream! |
ANOTHER STORM! SNOW DAY #2 - February 2nd (post Superbowl!)
How nice of Mother Nature to dump a foot of snow on us the day after the Patriots win the Superbowl! It was even nicer that it was going to snow all day long that they were able to let us know before kick off that school would be cancelled! We ended up letting the boys stay up after halftime to watch, but only David made it to the glorious ending! Snow Day meant, this Momma could stay up late watching football commentary on the glorious outcome of Superbowl 49!

| Championship Waffles! |

| David and Shaun couldn't wait to get outside for a bit for some more sledding! |
THE BIG 3 DAY STORM! February 7-February 9th (Snow day #3).
This latest round of snow, started Saturday night and still going! It's been very light, but it hasn't let up at all, especially today! It's been very cold so we when we do go outside, it's not for very long, but we are making the most of it! Charlie helped the boys build a couple of tunnels in the giant snow banks along the side of the road from the various storms.
SUNDAY FEBRUARY 8TH
