holy snow, batman! i woke up to at least 10" this morning, and it hasn't let up at all! it is right around noon, and boyfriend and i decided to have a go at reaching the snowblower in the driveway to clear up the worst of it. it took me almost 10 minutes to dig out the stairs and a shovel-wide path to the driveway. boyfriend spent the next 20 minutes or so on the driveway, while i followed behind and did clean up shoveling. the snow is above my knees right now! some trader joe's peppermint hot chocolate is definitely in order, i think.

i managed to get the kitchen partly cleaned up today. the counter is mostly cleaned off and i scrubbed the stovetop. boyfriend cleaned the microwave, which hadn't been done in, well, i can't remember! it looks good now. i also started unearthing the table too. i may even see the top of it tomorrow! we had a friend stop by for a few minutes as i was making dinner, which was steak with mushrooms and onions, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. he was having fun playing in the snow with his wrx ; )

it's now about 11:30pm and the snow has finally stopped for the night. this was a really bad nor'easter, with thundersnow in some places that dropped 2-4" of snow per hour! crazy! thank goodness for our snowblower because it would have sucked to shovel the entire driveway.

there is 18" of snow on our railing and the wind has been blowing it off all day. tomorrow i will measure the snow in the yard to see the true total. i'm guessing around two feet!!!
