Snow, snow, and more snow

It snowed 22 inches in 24 hours. We tried to take Alexis to the airport on Saturday, so we unburied the car. We have create a pathway to even get to the door there was so much snow.
20 minutes later we piled into the car, no snowplows had come, but I still thought we could get out to the freeway. Well, I think we moved a total of five feet in 15 minutes. So determined to get her to the airport. Storms in the East are definitely not like they are in Utah, the whole town of Harrisonburg shut down, church was cancelled and even the major airports and DC metro shut down. Her flight was cancelled, but fortunately she'll be heading out on Tuesday. WHEW!!! I guess we'll just have to play in the snow since we can't go anywhere.

So Alexis played in the snow. Came back in and warmed up and played in the snow again. Earlier in the morning Alexis and her friends took the boggie boards out into the snow.

It hardly ever snows like this in Virginia. No wonder they sent the children home from school on Friday an hour early. I had now idea it was going to snow this much!!!!

Sheesh! That's a lot of snow! I'm glad you are all safe and Lex can go out on Tuesday - You're a good mom for trying so hard even in such bad conditions!
