The Great Blizzard of 2011...

Hi, friends!  Happy Tuesday to you!

As many of you probably know, that storm I mentioned yesterday, has now been upgraded to an actual blizzard!  They are calling for 1-2 inches of snow every hour from 8 this morning til 8 tonight.  Oh, and all this is happening on top of a sheet of ice that was laid down yesterday by a thin mist all day.  Eek!  I heard from my mom who heard from her hairdresser who's husband is a firefighter {did you follow me there?} that they have received an official dispatch letting them know that some streets will be impassable.

It is already coming down pretty good out there, so I decided to stay in.  I have no interest in being caught up in that!  Movies and hot chocolate will do just fine.



So, since I know some of you don't have the pleasure/displeasure of experiencing the Great Blizzard of 2011, I thought I'd post some pictures periodically throughout the day.  I hope you'll enjoy that, and not think, oh geez there Jen goes posting more pictures of snow in her yard.  I think it will be fun to see how fast it accumulates.  I took the first pics right at 8:00 am.  Not sure if once an hour is too ambitious, so we'll just say I'll pop in throughout the day.  ;)

This storm is literally affecting a good portion of the US!  

So tell me, blizzard, or no blizzard for you?  And, is anyone else craving Dairy Queen now?
