Nemo!

Blizzard Nemo started with a light snow shower

 Then it started to build

 and build (about 9 pm on Friday night)  Chris had shoveled our walkway a couple times by now

 Waiting it out.  Bolts likes to chew his bones like a cigar :)

 Next morning we woke up to 20 inches.  Oh my!  And no electricity.  The winds howled all night.  I barely slept.

 Bolts had to do his business on the porch :)

 He loved the snow though.  Couldn't get enough of it!

 our street, which is a fairly main street - barely plowed at 7 am on Saturday morning.  Later we found out, it was because of all the trees down.

 Chris getting the truck dug out.  We were supposed to be spending the weekend in Saratoga Springs, NY for the weekend.  Rolling Bones Garage Night!!  But we decided to stay home & make sure Nemo didn't do too much damage.    We hated to miss the event, but we made the right decision in staying home.

 Winter wonderland

 Our porch even had quite a few inches on it.

 We went for a walk and saw a lot of trees down.  Not looking good for getting our electricity back :(

 a lot of wires down too

 We still had to get our 4 hour bike done.  We keep our trainers in our room above the garage.  We keep the heat turned low, since we really only use the room in winter for our trainer rides.  Soo, the room was only 43.  brrr - bring on the coats & hats!

 We got it done though!  And raised the room temperature 4 degrees!  It was 47 when we were done :)

 Later - I'm curled up under the blankets with Bolts on my lap to keep me warm :)  We borrowed Chris' brother's generator, since he never lost power.  So on Sunday, we stayed nice & toasty.  We also had our neighbors plug into our generator.  Didn't want anyone to get frozen pipes!

We got our power back on Monday afternoon.  Yeah!!
