It's true! We've heard the final count around these parts was that 28.5 inches of snow fell here in Philly-adelphia (as Lucy would say) between Friday night and Saturday. We are definitely SNOWED in!!
This was taken Saturday morning around 7:30 a.m., and the snow continued to fall all day until about 4 p.m. when it finally stopped. Lucy woke up and had eyes the size of quarters when she looked outside at all the snow. She said, "It's Christmas?!?"
We tried to take the kiddos outside to play in it for a little while, but it was such hard work trying to walk around in the waist deep snow that Lucy wasn't really enjoying it and Zachy couldn't move at all in his winter gear, so they were both pretty unhappy campers. I think they liked the snow a little better from inside where they could just watch it pile up.
The snow was as tall as Zachy along our sidewalk, and it was pretty fascinating to see how weather can shut down as a big a city as Philadelphia. The only cars on the road were trucks with plows, and just about everywhere was closed due to weather. We even got church cancelled today (not that I'm happy about that or anything:)!! They said it's the first time in history that Philly has had 2 storms in one winter produce more than 18 inches of snow (although we missed the first one when we were in Boise for Christmas). I guess I'm glad we could be here to go down in the record books, and they're predicting more this Wednesday!!

I think those kinds of storms really get fun when you have to shovel the sidewalk and driveway about every 2 hours. I always think of the Stratfords house in Ogden on the hill with the steep long driveway. Now that can really make a man out of you! So give Zack (not Zachy) a shovel and get him working.
Looks like a good time to build a snowman and stay inside!! Maybe you can teach Zack to make a snow cave!?! Makes our 50 degree weather here feel real warm.
Oh my goodness, you did get a ton of snow! I'm thankful you weren't stuck in an airport or anything and were just warm and cozy in your little apartment. Now you have stories to tell your grandkids.
i know, i was pretty broken up about church being cancelled too...hee hee.
such cute pictures, i can't get over how big your kids are getting, it seemed like it happened over night!
Was school cancelled, too? That's some serious snow! Now you can say you were there for the blizzard of 2010.
Be safe. We worry about you guys!
Aren't you getting sick of this snow? I woke up to another blizzard this morning and almost started crying! I can't wait for spring!
WHOA!!!! You won't miss that in Vegas!!
