The Snowstorm of March 1, 2009


Okay so the news from this latest weather wonderland is that we are thus far still alive. Haha! This was the most snow that I've ever seen at one time. It is definitely over a foot out there. I can't believe it! Whoever said that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb sure was right. What better day to start than March 1, 2009. I knew that there was going to be a lot of snow when it was falling 1-2 inches an hour. The snow started on Sunday around 11 and didn't stop until well over midnight. Needless to say it was intense. Lady is getting lost in the snow and Maggie is burying her nose into the snow trying to find the ground. She is a hound dog and definitely likes to know where she is pottying. Imagine the intensity of waiting on her in the what seems like negative temperatures outside. I think that this was by far the most intense winter thing that the mountains have thrown at us yet since we've been here. It took us about 3 hours to get Josh's car out of his parking spot. The snow had been piled up by the plow making it impossible to get over without shoveling and pushing the car repeatedly. The smell of burning rubber is never a fun thing to smell when just trying to get out to continue functioning normally in your winter mountain day. Happily, we finally got him out and after stopping traffic for him to come out of our road without stopping at the stop sign. Whew! Bring it on WINTER!
