We Survived The Blizzard of '09


Our plans to leave for Myrtle Beach this morning were dashed by over 18 inches of snow. It began to snow around 9:00 p.m. Friday night so we knew that when we awoke it would be a winter wonderland scene. This morning David shoveled the 5 to 6 inches from the driveway and cleared the car. Later in the day another 6 to 8 inches were back on the driveway with more snow still falling (see the pic below with the ruler showing the second round). We took a walk, attempted to make a snowman (this is perfect snow for skiing, but not for making snow balls since it is very powdery and not wet) and then came in for some much needed hot chocolate. We hope that we can leave tomorrow morning... we're keen to see our family and have some r&r in Myrtle Beach.
