Blizzard Part Two & The Superbowl

Here are some more pictures from Day 2 of the huge snowstorm! Here is a picture of all the snow on our front porch and BBQ! Compare this picture to the first picture from the last blog!
This was pretty funny. As I had mentioned before, we didn't have a snow shovel and all the hardware stores within 100 miles were completely sold out. In fact, I called Home Depot and this is what their greeting said, "Hello thank you for calling Home Depot. We do not have any snow shovels or ice melt. If you know your party's extension please dial it now..." SOO we had to improvise! We had these boogie board things in our storage room and I went out to try to clear our walkway and ended up using that to shovel the snow away. Sheridan thought this was hilarious and took about a million pictures.


Working hard!

I got a pretty good path cleared!
Sheridan wanted to go work out and so we spent a long time trying to dig our car out of the snow. I started to hit the snow off the top with a broom, but you can see how high it was piled!!
After we dug out he snow between the tires, I was trying to reverse the car while Sheridan pushed the front. It took about 5 tries (trying to reverse unsuccessfully, digging out more snow, trying again, digging more snow, etc) but we finally got the car out! It was hilarious...people were "marking" their spots with folding chairs, parking cones, etc. One car even had a handmade side written on a piece of cardboard box that someone had stuck under their windshield wiper...it said, "Don't park in my spot. Dig out your own spot!" So much for a public parking lot! :)
Look at all that snow!
The next morning the weather was actually surprisingly very nice. We finally got to meet all our neighbors!! Everyone was out trying to dig their cars out.
I thought this was so hilarious. We didn't have a shovel, so Sheridan was out here with a hammer and a dustpan trying to get the hardened snow out from under the tires. It took us about an hour but we finally got the car out!
We kept Lincoln inside for most of the second day because he was starting to get sick. Here are some cute pictures of him on the day of the Superbowl! My dad and Teresa got him this cute outfit for Christmas and we were able to get him dressed up. Lincoln is so squirmy these days that the hat didn't stay on too well but he sure looked cute! I love those dimples!
