What We did in the Blizzard of 2005

My husband's taking the picture. No, we didn't really have anything in the glasses. But we did have hot buttered rum afterward.

You haven't lived till you've walked throught 8" of snow, barefoot, in 13° weather.

What I did during the 2005 Blizzard.

Drank some beer.

Pulled my cross-country skis out of storage.

Cross-country skiied about a half-mile up the road.

Remembered why I prefer downhill skiing to cross-country skiing.

Skiied back home.

Had more beer.

Ahhhh yes ... so then I have lived ... of course it was at ski resorts, but the principle is the same :) Outdoor Hot Tub, where ya gotta walk thru inches of snow in yer barefeet to get to the Tub .... pure Heaven :)

btw --- Long Island report here: 8" on the ground now but seems to be tapering off a bit currently. Not sure when its supposed to pick up heavy again for the overnight, but will be ready with plenty of firewood and 2-cycle snowblower fuel for tomorrow's big dig .......
