Blizzard of 06'

That's right, maybe a month too late but here is my recap of the blizzard of 06'. Declared a National Disaster by FEMA and commented on many to be worse then Katrina. OK, don't get me wrong. I am not stating this was worse then Katrina, or even close. But it was pretty bad. We lost power for a week and some didn't get power for at least a week and a half. Our internet service and cable took a little longer to come back. My wife also did an update on the storm HERE.

Here are some pictures:




Actually during the storm. Hard to take pictures at night in a snow storm.




The Cars under the snow, at least 2 feet fell that night.






Our backyard, the morning after. The reason that most of the region lost power was due to the wet heavy snow taking down the branches on the power lines. You can see the branches ripped out, broken and laying in the snow drifts. The table was tipped over the prevent it breaking.





Yup, no power means no microwave, no oven, no heat, no lights. Only candles, hot water (thank you gas) and a stove (again, thank you gas). So after deciding we needed to get rid of all our food and quick it became hot dog night on the grill.
