Blizzard Charlotte (aka winter storm nemo)

This is a month late, but in February we got hit by a pretty impressive blizzard. All the weather channels were predicting Massachusetts would get the brunt of it but Connecticut got a surprisingly large amount of snow. We kind of did our own measurements and I think at our house we averaged around 26 inches. But after the snow plows threw all the street snow to the side, it was definitely a huge amount of snow.

And of course CT was highly unprepared to deal with this much snow. Luckily David was able to work from home until the buses started running again. Our complex basically dug ourselves out enough to get our cars out to the road. David and I walked half a mile down the plowed empty streets to buy ourselves some snow shovels that we might not need again. We shall see.

I don't know what order these pictures will upload but one is our street when it just barely started to snow. One is our parking lot - our sad, snowed in parking lot. One is David measuring the snowdrift outside our front door right after we woke up. The other is the back entry way.
