The Weather Channel reported that the snow would begin to fall on Friday at 10am and Lo and Behold we spotted the first snow flakes at 10:17am and they just kept a comin. Now "Princess" Beanie will only do her, ahem, "business" if you take her for a walk. Now after that much snow the only thing to do is to suit up and take her out front of the building to find a tire track to walk in. It seems to have done the trick! The snow was so deep she could barely see out of the tire track over the snow.
Here's the front of our building in the trench that I personally shoveled just to be able to get out of the door. Beanie was not happy with me for taking what she thought was a very long and unnecessary time to take a stupid picture!
Here's what my car looked like after my FIRST attempt at snow removal. Just this amount took hours till I finally gave up. I did finally manage to free it today after many more hours of work. Why, where was Brian you ask? Well we won't get into that, we'll just say that I was up and out working at this early and we met in the hall way when I was finished and he finally got curious! He made up for it though by VERY thoroughly cleaning my kitchen. I mean what a great job! He scrubbed and took the gas stove top apart and got every little last bit of grease and baked on goodness off. He's truly the hero of the hour. I'd rather shovel snow any day than tackle that job! I love you my Bear!
Last blizzard we went out and took pictures to share with you. Well this time around we thought, "You've seen one you've seen them ALL"! So this time we stayed in so I don't have any great photo spread to share with you but I do have some nice "Complimentary Color" Night Photos from my porch to share with you.
So Breathtaking. There is nothing more lovely or romantic than to sit on the porch with the love of your life, in the dark, quiet calm after math of a Blizzard. 
I wish my neighborhood was this magical all the time.
This brings us to our "Lessons fo Being Snowed In with a Loved One" section. Luckily The Bear and I are very well versed in spending long periods of uninterupted time together so it hasn't been as painful as I imagine it has been for some of you. But there do come times of uncontrolled laughter over absolutely NOTHING that funny, and food creations that end up so gosh darn yummy, your tummy SCREAMS Uncle like it's Thanksgiving. You let The Bear loose in the kitchen and you know it's not gonna be good for the waist line. Like these Cheesy Bacon and Scallion Fries served with Ranch Dressing, for dipping of course.
Or this first ever Homemade Thai Bubble Tea! Ya, that's right. Oh man was that good. I made from scratch Chicken and Rice Soup to keep us going and we ended up running our of crackers. Well Bear to the rescue. He got so bored today that he went online, found a recipe and make crackers from scratch! Yes FROM SCRATCH! That's what a Blizzard will do to a person.What did the Blizzard make you do?
