Documenting a Snow Storm

(This is our deck at 7pm Friday night.) For the first time 2003 we are actually getting a real snow storm! Oscar and I remember the storm of February 2003 well, at total of 16.5" fell. We were living in an apartment in Arlington and worked together at NRECA. Work was closed for a week and we had a great time trekking through the snow. We haven't had another storm like that until TODAY!




This is our deck at 11pm Friday night. The snow started around 9:30pm. We slept with the curtain open because I love to see the snow fall in the night. I woke up several times to go look out the window and see how much we had. Of course it didn't help that the girls woke up at 5am because of the snow excitement.






This is our deck at 9am, when we were eating breakfast! We had about six inches by 6am and then the snow seemed to get very light. But around 9am the flakes got bigger and the accumulation was back on.



Here is Oscar making a great snow angel at 10:30am. After breakfast the girls wanted to get outside and play. It is noon on Saturday and we have over a foot already, we woke up to six inches. The girls got up at 5am, clearly excited about the snow they'd heard so much about and the fact that Santa is coming to our house tonight.
Stay tuned for more snow storm '09 pictures and reports!
