Snomageddon 2011

You may have heard about the inclement weather we endured this week.  It was quite unfair of Mother Nature actually...you see, Tuesday was our ninth wedding anniversary and we had big plans to go out on the town but the 3rd largest blizzard in Chicago history had to blow in and leave stuck at home.   It worked out ok in the end.  We grilled steaks and had a movie night...followed by a snow day.  We lost cable and internet for 20+ hours, and the power flickered quite a bit.  Let me tell you... 24+ inches of snow sure makes for beautiful scenery...and sore muscles from all the shoveling.
