Last week, Acton got nearly 30" of snow in one of the biggest blizzard's in Boston's history. We had two days off of school and felt like we were living inside an igloo - with snow piling up towards the windows and for as far as the eyes can see in every direction. We couldn't even go outside the first day (only Dan went out to snowblow midday) since it was so windy and cold, but on the second day (after Dan went off to work) we did go out and what a scene it was!
Soon, the kids tried to climb through Dan's path that he'd used for roof raking, but they couldn't really make it through.
If one of them climbed out onto the snow, they sank in pretty fast because the snow was so light and fluffy.
Dagny had to crawl her way back to us at one point since we couldn't reach her.
Then, we made our way to the front walk and kept sinking in.
And began tunneling into the front yard.
We also did our civic duty by shoveling out the fire hydrant down by the street.
Here's the view of our house from the road.
What a storm, huh? I suspect the kids will get a kick out of seeing these photos years from now :) After being outside for about 45 minutes, we were pretty frozen and headed back inside to dry off and warm up.
Hard as it is to believe, we are home again today (on a Monday) because are getting MORE snow. We haven't gone out to measure yet but we were slated to get up to 14 inches...help!
