We did more than survive, yesterday. In fact we had a lot of fun! Snow totals are showing that we got around 24-26 inches and I don't doubt it (although I haven't gone out there with a ruler myself). We hunkered down yesterday and thankfully didn't lose power, so we were cozy and warm while the storm raged outside. Sometime last year, winter stopped bothering me. I think it was because instead of complaining about how I couldn't run or had to run on the treadmill, I made the decision to just get out there now matter how unpleasant it seemed. And you know what I found, it wasn't as unpleasant as I imagined...actually I quite enjoyed it. And on the days when the roads were unsafe to run on due to ice or plows or no shoulder or all of the above, I'd put on my snowshoes and run the powerline-path just through the woods next to our house. And that wasn't so bad either, in fact it was quite thrilling. So I've made my peace with winter (spring in New England? Not so much. I still have a beef with you Mud-Season), which is why yesterday was so fun. How can you not have fun when the world around you comes to a standstill and times seems to stop?? (That is if you still have power)

Here's a little glimpse at our day in the blizzard:
