This process caused our nicely cleared drive way to become blocked by a 3 foot mound of plowed snow. Very inconsiderate. I had to shovel again. At least I feel like I am building up some nice muscles. Bring it on Tuesday night now! Here are some more pictures that don’t have to do with the comments above.

My guess is that the snow averaged about 2 ft, but I haven’t measured. My shoveling technique also needs improvement. The first pass needs to be down the center of the driveway to provide equal amounts of left and right shoveling. This is not what I did. I ended up sacrificing my car for Kathryn’s, I hope I don’t need to leave any time soon. Scan this vid.

Last night, Arcadia’s high chair was built.  While we probably won’t start her on solid food for a few more months now, she isn’t a fan of sitting in her bouncy chair when we eat dinner because she is so close to the floor.  Since she does pretty well sitting up, now she can join us at the table while we eat, and hopefully we won’t have to hold her and eat one-handed.

And, most exciting of all, we got snow!  Lots of snow.  Enough snow for my office to close.  I’m sure the snow plows are super busy…they haven’t gotten into our neighborhood yet.  News reports indicate accumulation of 3 – 6 inches, but I think we’ve already gotten 6 inches.  Plus, the storm isn’t over.  The warning is in effect until 2pm.  It’s not really snowing now, but the flurries keep coming every so often.  Of course, since it snowed again, I had to take Arcadia out for her second snow adventure.  Check out the photos for how deep it was on her.  She just sunk right in!
