The Blizzard of 2016

Two weeks ago I posted a photo of our house with snow talking about how Guy could never say it doesn't snow in our new county and then just a week later we were hit with the Blizzard of 2016..Jonahs.

One of the largest storms to ever cover Virginia we received 16 (approx.) inches at the house which according to the news and the neighbors is more snow at one time than anyone can remember. Luckily we had plenty of warning and I was able to get to the store and get what we may need (we weren't sure how things were handled down here in regards to roads) so we made sure we had necessities like dog food, snacks, milk, etc. to get us through at least a week. We also prepared to lose power as we were told that this does occur often with high winds which were also expected.

The storm was projected to start around 10:00 am on Friday and it was almost perfect timing. I was working at home so I watched the first inch or two come down through the front windows.
