Blizzard of '11

Ominous name and not fun in the least. We got hit right between the eyes yesterday with a whopper of a snow storm.  It started during the wee hours of Tuesday morning and continued well into the afternoon.  The snow was coming down really hard and it was combined with some pretty ferocious winds that caused almost-white-out conditions at some points.  Luckily everyone had fair warning about the storm's arrival so most businesses closed for the day which allowed everyone to stay off the roads.  Unfortunately for Greg and me, that isn't a possibility but we managed to get where we needed to be and do what we needed to do.  Nicholas obviously didn't have school so he went next door and hung out with our neighbors, Mike and Emerald, until I could get home from work.  He did all kinds of fun things including making snow ice cream and watching movies and eating popcorn.  We paid for that a little later in the evening when he had a massive tummyache.  It will probably take a few more days before things start to get back to normal.  With the temperature below freezing until at least Saturday the white stuff will probably be around for awhile.  The bitter cold has only allowed us about 5 minutes of outside play so far but hopefully we'll get to make some snowballs and maybe even a snowman before it all melts.  What's a snowstorm without that??

I really hope no one from up north looks at these pictures and laughs at our

 version of a "blizzard".  To those of us here in Oklahoma, it was crippling!

Golfing in the snow?  But of course. 

Stay warm everyone!
