March Snow Day--March 5, 2015!



This kind of day doesn't happen too often...a "big", by Philadelphia standards, snowstorm in March.   According to Action News,  as of 4 pm, Jenkintown got 8.4 inches of snow so far, and it is still snowing, with "heavy bands" on the way (I love Adam Joseph of Action News....).  

I was woken up by the phone calls...first Abington, and then the Mount.   I looked outside at 5:15, and the street was still black...no snow!!   So, I got dressed, and drove to the gym, and actually walked for an hour.  I got home around 7:30, cleaned, etc, and then at 8:15, fell asleep on the couch...and slept for an hour.  It was heavenly..watching the snow fall, and drifting to sleep.

After a pancake breakfast, I made everyone sit down and watch "Forrest Gump."   I haven't watched it for years, and other than skipping through some of the scenes, my kids and I loved it....all 6 of us on the bed watching it, with the snow still falling!!  


As of 2, there were no tire marks on the road....



At 4:30, Lily got dressed and played outside....










                     



                    And then I got the boys to help out with shoveling...which became this...




It finally stopped snowing around 6 pm....and the dig out began.....
