Another blizzard...

We're alive and trying to stay warm!

Ok, so when we first moved to Baltimore, we heard that the winters were pretty mild. Yes, we did have that big blizzard in December, but besides that, it's been very enjoyable. Mild temperatures and hardly any wind (and anyone who knows me, that's huge!). Well, we heard this past week that another blizzard was coming...seriously?! Again, we didn't know what to expect, as people tend to freak out at the smallest amount of precipitation out this way. The snow was predicted to fall starting on Friday...and on Thursday, schools were already declaring snow days for Friday. It was crazy. My work gave us the option to work from home on Friday, which I obviously took advantage of. I did have to stop at the grocery store on Friday, to get some food....normal food. I wasn't involved in any of that "panic purchasing" - buying huge amounts of toilet paper, 8 loaves of bread, 10 gallons of milk, etc. But believe me, there were a ton of crazies participating in that behavior. 

The snow started Friday afternoon and it really got us that night. We woke up to a winter wonderland yesterday morning! Chris, a friend of ours and who is in Evan's program, came over on Friday night and stayed until today! He's from Florida, so we enjoyed being able to experience this blizzard with him! Of course, him being here meant that Evan had a partner-in-crime for building igloos and playing in the snow - which of course they did!

The snow did cancel some plans that we had with my dad. He was supposed to fly into D.C. on Friday - which got postponed to Saturday - which got postponed to later tonight. We were going to meet him for lunch today down in D.C., but he's still not here. Bummer. We do get to see him in 2 months, when my parents come out for Easter - so yay!

I'll leave you with some pictures of the blizzard - I hear Nebraska is expecting some snow tomorrow - stay warm! We're supposed to get quite a few more inches on Tuesday - ugh!
