We Survived!

I'm not sure if you heard what happened in Buffalo this past weekend, but we sure got our first taste of winter. Thursday, October 12 Buffalo was hit with 3 feet of snow. And this was not your average snow fall. The snow was so heavy and came down so fast that it took down half of our tree population, which in effect took out all of Buffalo's power lines. All the snow melted within 24 hours which caused major flooding. I think all of the water ended up in our basement. It was a big mess. We ended up going without power for a week. Work and school were canceled for many days. And there was even a driving band in effect for the weekend. Needless to say almost two weeks later we're back and running our normal lives again, except for the fact that we have a few less trees in our yard and all our candles are burnt to nothing. It was sure an exciting week.

That silver blob there is my car

Here's our house. And if you look to the left...under those trees that are leaning down, my dad's car and van are under there.

So much for that BBQ we were planning!

Buddy sure was excited to see the early arrival of snow!

Kristi spent day 2 of our adventure bailing water out of the basement.

Bless her heart!
