Mega blizzard 2010

We had an incredibly snowy weekend in Minnesota. We received between 15-17 inches of snow on Saturday alone. The weather was so bad that the Minneapolis airport was closed, snow plows were pulled off of the highways due to low visibility, public transportation was stopped because 2/3rds of the buses got stuck in the snow & the Metrodome imploded; canceling the Vikings football game!



Sadly, several of our personal plans were also affected by the weather. Henry missed his first haircut, we had to cancel having a babysitter and going out, and we had to cancel having our mom and baby group over for dinner (leaving us with a lot of extra lasagna, garlic bread and beer if anyone wants to come over!) Henry didn't seem to mind being stuck at home. He really enjoyed watching dad and our neighbors shoveling outside (multiple times).



And after being literally snowed into our house for more than 24 hours, we ventured out for lunch at the Groveland Tap today. I never realized how amazing it is having a vehicle with all wheel drive and winter tires; I no longer miss my Honda Civic.
