Snow storm (BLIZZARD)

The last storm (snow storm beta version) was nothing. Last weekend we got dumped with 2 feet of snow, and then on Tuesday and Wednesday we got dumped with another foot or two. Federal government (and therefore FCNL) was shut down Monday-Thursday because (except for part of Tuesday) the buses were shut down, the metro was shut down aboveground, and the grocery stores were pretty much picked clean. It was:
Snopocalypse


Snomageddon


Snobliteration


After a while it started to feel like snogatory.


Snoverkill



But at the same time, it was also really pretty.



And Raleigh LOVED it.









And Colin came over and we made a snow fort in the front yard.




(Which Raleigh now uses as a bathroom.)


Note: All of the pictures above are from the first blizzard, because by the time the second one came around I (seriously) just wanted to go back to work. Or at least be able to get around the city. Now the streets are passable, and sidewalks are more or less shoveled, and the sun is shining. Life is pretty good.
