Feburary Storms

And they keep coming!
yes our area hasn't seen the last of the snow for the winter....
Tuesday Feb 2 2010 A light snow was to come through the area total snow fell.... 10 inches.

Saturday Feb 6 2010 The first big storm hit leaving additional  18 inches.

Oh dear we lost power! 40 hour of no electric which included heat. we woke up to a home inside temp of 56f. the next morning it was 41f. how does that feel? COLD.

but we survived and we got power back that 2ND day at 5pm. but it took another 24 hours until we were warm enough.

All our 72hour training from the church really helped. it was a bit like camping!!!! in the snow.

OK now that we have power....

Tuesday Feb 9 2010 2nd big storm hit the area. Adding 18 more inches to the totals. but this time we were lucky and had power and warmth. This time the snow was just too deep to do anything even walking was not possible as the snow reach emma's top of thighs. as for the roads... full-size tractors and dump truck were brought into the area to clear them. there was not space to plow the snow too.
School was cancelled too. but so too was Mike's work so it was a great inside holiday for us. just a little problem of cabin fever to deal with!
Do we have photos form the second big storm... sorry no. it was just too deep and cold to go outside. also there were not so pleasent side-effect of living in a cold apartment for 40 hours- SICKNESS.
