Sunday Citar - keep swimming
Copper trying to "swim" through the snow
Dory: Hey there, Mr. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down do you wanna know what you've gotta do?
Marlin: No I don't wanna know.
Dory: [singing] Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim.
Marlin: Dory, no singing.
Dory: [continuing] Ha, ha, ha, ha, ho. I love to swim. When you want to swim you want to swim.
Marlin: Now I'm stuck with that song... Now it's in my head.
Dory: Sorry.

Blizzard 2010 update: afternoon photos
It has officially stopped snowing here. After having helped my hubby dig
out the driveway I would have to say that we got about 28 inches of snow. It is more snow than I ever remember seeing falling at one time. Below is a picture of my almost 11 year old in our front yard.
Here is middle G standing in what I think is our driveway but who can tell. The kids were so excited. They were outside three separate times, the first time at 8 a.m.
Here is little G. He had a lot of trouble walking in this much snow. It was funny, but not. I was worried that he was actually going to get stuck. He kept losing his boot.
And last but not least here I am standing in the front yard. I'm only 5'2" but the snow actually came up to top of my legs. I won't soon forget the blizzard of 2010.

Here is my hubby trying to snow blow the driveway. It is a difficult task when the snow is over the top of the snow blower. Between the two of us it took us more than 1 1/2 hours to dig out most of the driveway and then another hour to dig out the plowed in bottom.
And last but not least here I am standing in the front yard. I'm only 5'2" but the snow actually came up to top of my legs. I won't soon forget the blizzard of 2010.
Storm update: 7:30 a.m. photos
Holy buckets...this is my front yard as of 7:30 a.m. and it's supposed to keep snowing until 6 p.m. tonight. Yikes.
Below is a picture of my back deck. Believe it or not the thing in the right corner is our dog house. LOL Copper is not impressed. We let him outside this morning and he sunk. The snow is officially over his head.
This is the kids playhouse slide and as you can see in the picture the snow is still coming down! We may be home bound for quite a while.
R U posting storm photos. If so I want to see them. Leave me a link in the comments.

Preparing for the Blizzard of 2010
I have little faith in the ability of humans to predict the weather. After all it is one of the only jobs you can have and be wrong 85 percent of the time and still be employed. That being said when weather forecasters start using words like "100 percent likely" "absolute" and "without a doubt" panic starts to set in.
In case you haven't heard the eastern portion of the U.S. is gonna get dumped on. BIG TIME. It's never a good sign when they start calling for snow in feet instead of inches. That being said is it really necessary to rush out for milk, eggs and bread.
Wouldn't it be better to have pizza and beer? After all it is Super Bowl weekend.
I was supposed to scrapbook this weekend with a friend but because of the looming blizzard we decided to reschedule. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation issued a travel advisory asking that all unnecessary trips be postponed and said that if you must go to be sure to bring an emergency survival kit.
The kit wouldn't fit in the car with all my scrapbook stuff.
Figures.
That being said, I think I am staying put for the entire weekend and hope and pray that wherever you are this weekend, you manage to stay safe and warm.
