The Jagow Family: Winter Snow Storm Nov. 2010

Wow! What a snow storm we had. On Friday evening I spent the evening at a craft show with my mom, the sky was clear, I wasn't wearing a jacket. By the time I went to bed around midnight, the snow was falling and then the adventure began. We lost power at 2am for about 5 mins. I guess we lost it again around 4am, I didn't hear it go out then. It then went out again around 7am and was out for about 3 hours. We took advantage of this time to make breakfast, thankfully we did, because....we lost it again around 12 noon. This time we took the time to go outside to shovel some of the heaviest snow I have ever shoveled. Thankfully my mom was here (although she was supposed to go home on Sat. That didn't happen.), as she helped me shovel. Sydney had fun enjoying the fresh snow fall! The trees were full of snow and weighted down greatly. Some trees weren't so lucky. Unfortunately it looks like my neighbors tree might be a lost cause. And the "big ugly green blob" in front of our house looks like it took a beating too. Thankfully that is being removed next spring! We were outside for about 2.5 hours. The power was still out. It came back on around 3ish, only to go out again 30 mins later. Thankfully, that was the last time and it only lasted for about 30 mins. I know we were some of the lucky ones, as some people in the metro area still have no power. The snow is / was beautiful. I loved that it arrived on a weekend. Could have done without the power outages. In all, it was an ok first snow storm of the season! Now if all the snow storms could happen on the weekends, when we are going to be home, that would be perfect! ha! I can dream....

Have a great week!
