the blizzard

last weekend rochester got blasted with snow. from friday night to sunday mid-day we were blessed with 16-18 inches of snow. bill worked until 2 am on friday night and then was up early to round on saturday. thankfully, he got home around 11am to start the first round of snow removal with me. charlie was ecstatic to hear that daddy was coming home to snow blow and he could ride in the backpack again. bill thought ski goggles would really help charlie stay warm and avoid snow blowing in his face. I thought it looked like child abuse…you be the judge.

charlie didn’t seem to mind. he was just pumped to get outside and hear that snowblower!

this is just round 1….we did this 3 more times over the weekend. especially every time the plows went through we had another wall (up to bill’s shoulder) of snow to tear down.

bill was proud on his final run through on sunday. sadly it was freezing (-20) on sunday so charlie was only able to go in the backpack for brief stints and when he did we wrapped a blanket around the sides of his face.

it is hard to see how much snow this was but it is a ton!

oh and today we got another 6 inches of snow, which apparently puts us at 32 inches for december already! I love having a white Christmas!

  1. steph - charlie looks awesome all bundled up in the backpack ... at least he doesn't mind the ski goggles and is getting prepared for the day you stick skis on his feet!
