"Snow Much Fun" "Snowvember" "Snowmaggeddon"

Hummm.... which of the above titles should I use for this post?  All are appropriate....

I understand Buffalo hogged the national news for a few days during our unbelievable storm.  We know snow but have never seen so much fall in such a short amount of time.  Most of the natives from this area didn't remember anything like this either.  Apparently, it's being compared to the terrible storm of '77 for this area, but the snowfall amount in this storm even surpassed that.  Crazy!

Here's a few pictures/videos that we were able to snap from just around our house.  It was truly a memorable experience and it would have been an absolute shame to live in Buffalo for a year and not experience a major storm.  ;)  We're sooooo thankful that we had food, electricity, and the Baby Hazel did not decide to make her appearance early.  For many others, this storm has been absolutely devastating with losses of life, businesses, housing, and income.  It was pretty damaging as a whole for the entire area.  Perhaps the oddest piece of this entire puzzle was how quickly it mostly melted--in just a few days!  (???)

Enjoy the picture walk through our week... you'll be able to see a bit of progression of accumulation as you scroll down.

The kids got outside for at least an hour with Daddy each day.

A few movie dates also gave us something to do as well.

We were able to put up the Christmas tree as another activity to keep the kids busy.

"Is it still snowing?!"  "Why yes, it is."

On Saturday we were able to venture out for a short time to a make up OB appointment.
We had to giggle at this--bossiness used spray paint to show that they were open
for business because you couldn't see over the 12 feet banks to check for lights or cars!
