And, yes, we are surviving. Pretty much.

Wow! I am so glad that I live in Detroit :)

That is the first time I have ever seen anyone say that about my hometown!

AWE!
We get snow like that a lot where I live but we are very used to it. My kids LOVE it too. :) xoxo

I won’t even tell you how nice it is here today.
Holy moly that is a lot of snow! Keep warm!
.-= Anjie´s last blog ..Under construction… =-.
WOW.
I live outside of Philly, and we for sure got dumped on (about 28in). However, it looks like SO much less than that!!
Great shots!! Looks like a lot of fun…at least you have something interesting to photograph outdoors!!
wow, that’s a lot of snow! Looks like the kids are having a blast though hehe
I’m so glad we didn’t get that kind of dumping. It looks like the snow’s going to mostly miss Northern Colorado; the south is getting pounded, and so are the ski areas – must be good for business.
I hope you can stave off Cabin Fever!

It really IS a long of snow. I’ve got lots of similar pictures. Just different kids. :)
.-= Lolli´s last blog ..Lids Don’t Make Good Snow Shoes =-.
That looks really cold.
.-= Jennifer´s last blog ..My family is accident prone =-.
I can feel your pain. A few weeks ago it dropped down to -37 degrees with windchill out here. We had our heat on 85 and it was still cold enough in our apartment to freeze a can of coke solid! Thanks crappy windows! My fiance always laughed at me for hoarding blankets, now he loves me for it.
Wow. And also, wow. This southern girl wouldn’t know what to do.
.-= debbie´s last blog ..Dear Abby, Funerals and Clowns =-.
On the plus side, your adorable kids are still smiling! I would be bringing out the home movies or pictures of your last beach vacay, and reliving the memories. Sending you semi-warm thoughts from Texas :).
Great photos! Looks like the kids are enjoying it. :)
.-= Cheryl´s last blog ..Set it Sunday: Week 3 =-.
omg….i wouldn’t be a happy person. we’re suppose to get maybe 8 inches and i am dreading that.
That looks beautiful. I live in Dallas so we hardly ever get snow and if we do its only like 2 inches or so. Can you FedEx some my way please?
.-= pamela @VampireSmitten´s last blog ..I’m Too Chicken To… =-.
Whoa! That’s impressive. And I’m from Wisconsin so you know that means a lot when I say that.
Glad you are surviving! Hang in there… only 6 more weeks of winter. (STUPID GROUNDHOG!)
For God’s sake Lily, PUT SOME SHADES ON! Follow suit! :)
.-= Danielle´s last blog ..Sometimes… =-.
Totally jealous. Have fun!
Well, it’s pretty to look at. Although I think your son’s expression in the 2nd photo says it all.
.-= C @ Kid Things´s last blog ..Lesson Learned =-.
so glad to NOT be living in DC. they never handled 2 inches of snow well at all. I can only imagine how shut down that whole metro area will be for the next week. thank goodness it stopped snowing there.
.-= dawn´s last blog ..greek nachos =-.
I had to wait for my kids to leave the room before I looked at your post. Now I know where all our snow has gone (I can see the grass outside my window and I’m in the North). Wow, that’s a lot of snow. Looks like a great opportunity to teach the kids about small business ventures: three cute kids snow shoveling service. I mean you have to save for that parent vacay in Hawaii sooner rather than later.
.-= carrie anne´s last blog ..February 5, 1994 =-.
I wish. That’s smart, though. I’ll give them another year or two.
As long as the sun is out I don’ mind that much snow. Looks like the kids had a great time!
.-= American in Norway´s last blog ..I ♥ Faces We ♥ Kisses … =-.
35 inches! Wow! We only had 22 inches. We’re closer to Montgomery County line? Our drifts from plowing, snow blowing, and shovelling are impressively high. :-)
Our court was just plowed. Driveway was done yesterday…finished it off today. Just in time for school…except school is cancelled for Monday and likely Tuesday!
.-= MusingsfromMe/Jill´s last blog ..Birthday Party Ideas for Tweens =-.
We have SO MUCH. 2nd largest amount in the area. It’s insane.
You did a good job with those pictures, I have a hard time photographing snow. Although with 25 fresh inches and another possible 5 to 10 on the way Tuesday, I’ll have plenty of time to practice.
i know you think i’m kidding, but that is what every winter looks like in erie! sometimes we get 35 inches at once but mostly we get a foot or so and then 3-5 inches more EVERYDAY for months. it adds up. but we don’t have the sunshine i see in your pictures. enjoy it! when you are looking at cherry blossoms, we will still have SNOW.
I sure hope you got to stay home from work. We are due some snow today, about 6inches and I think that is horrible. Can’t imagine that much snow. Glad to see you surviving.
wow! we don’t even get snow down here in South Texas. That is a ton of snow!!
.-= Joy´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday =-.
It looks like so much fun! But then again I know the truth. Glad we have had none this year.
Hang in there.

.-= Whitney ´s last blog ..Seafood & Corn Chowder =-.
I have to say it looks pretty fun to me. But then again, we’ve had the least snowy winter ever up here (MI). And how’s this for a random aside: the cleanliness of your fridge is very impressive!
.-= MommyTime´s last blog ..When A Six-Year-Old Asks =-.
They are adorable snowbabies! DC put Philly to shame this weekend thank goodness!!
Man, oh, man ~ I remember those NY days when we were snowed in and then we had to dig the car out but the snowplower guy would just bury us back in. Good times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It does look beautiful when it 1st arrives.

Woah! We only got about 20 inches. Great pics!!
.-= Keyona´s last blog ..Can You Guess Who Took Shots Of My Ass? =-.
We had snow like that last year. By the time we were a couple of months in I cried whenever more fell. I live in rainy Vancouver, we are just not cut out for that.
Thankfully we have had a very mild winter this year. Although, ironically, that’s not so great because it means they’re having to truck snow up local mountains to be ready for the Olympics. Maybe you could send a bit of yours our way and everyone wins!
.-= Amber´s last blog ..Furtive Snacking =-.
Holy wow…that’s a lot of snow!
Lucky Kids! I was alone with the kids all weekend and just didn’t have the energy to play outside today.
.-= JulieBouf´s last blog ..The Good, The Bad, and the Crazy =-.
Wow, that will keep you snowed in for a few days!! We only got 12 inches here :)
.-= Bethany´s last blog ..Viewpoints =-.
Holy crap. You know, I don’t get why on the East Coast it’s like someone decided to dump all the show ever, and here in Washington we are having the MOST mild winter EVER. Seriously? I am walking around with no coat on half the time. What’s up with that? Crazy.
Good luck! We got 16 and I’ve avoided the outdoors
The photos of the kids look gorgeous – I love the red suit contrasting the snow. When we get snow here, it’s about 1 inch and it quickly turns to ice. And the sun doesn’t come out at all, so it’s grey and grim. And it still shuts the whole country down.
.-= pixielation´s last blog ..Going for birthdays, bolting and bling =-.
That cracks me up. I live in Erie, PA and we always get dumped on. We have escaped two weekends in a row. I heard we are going to get something in the next couple of days though. Hopefully you thaw out soon!
Most of my family live in Erie! They are cracking up at how ill equipped we are to deal with this white stuff. You all can keep it!!
It’s a trip, isn’t it?
.-= Cara´s last blog ..SnOMG 2010 =-.
Not sure where you are at, but get this…we were in south Jersey and got two feet, yep, knee deep snow…called bossman, he didnt beleive us because there was no snow in Manhattan (NY)…so, through a lot of trying, we made it 50 miles north and wouldnt you know it, not a snowflake! So I hear ya, we went through it ourselves!
We “only” got 21 inches of snow. FUN!!!
.-= Lynn from For Love or Funny´s last blog ..I can handle 21 inches =-.
I hope it dosn’t all melt at once!
Usually our place looks like that ,but this year we are avoiding the big storms(so Far)
happy digging!
You have so many comments that I can’t keep up! Where (in what state) are you?
.-= Anita´s last blog ..A Little Blog-Hopping =-.
LOL! Maryland. And we aren’t used to it here!
Your kids look adorable in the snow!
I can’t believe how much snow you got!!

We had a measly few inches here in th UK a few weeks back and the entire country ground to a halt.

.-= Insomniac Mummy´s last blog ..Miss you! – A tale of how not to migrate to WordPress =-.
I can’t imagine.
Lily’s hair looks reddish in that picture. Gorgeous!
.-= court´s last blog ..An afternoon with my daughter. Who dresses like a boy but plays like a girl. =-.
I know!! It does have a reddish tinge that rarely shows up on film!
Oh my God! I can only assume there is a street there in that last pic of all the houses, right? At least the kids are happy. Hope thing melt soon!
Somewhere in there. I think.
I’m so envious of your snow. Like, I don’t necessarily want all the other stuff that comes with LOTS of snow, like traffic and power outages, but wow that snow looks amazing. And I’ve never ever seen that much in person. Why do I live in the snow when I covet snow so much? LOL :)
.-= AmazingGreis´s last blog ..I’m chicken… =-.
–>We just got a dusting that only stuck to the grass on Saturday. I’m a little jealous of all the snow but then again, I had cabin fever the weekend before after getting 8 inches at the beach.

HOLY MOSES!!!! That’s some SERIOUS snow.
That is a LOT of snow! Is that a STREET???
.-= Mwa´s last blog ..I also don’t like contagious people =-.
That is a crazy amount of snow. I would go insane & drink to get rid of the anxiousness I would feel. I’m getting hives thinking about the measly 12-16 inches (compared to the your 35) we are suppose to get in NYC on Wednesday.
I meant to write the other day that the frog hat is so friggin’ cute!
.-= TJB´s last blog ..I can’t afford to be eco-friendly. =-.
I can’t believe all that snow! As a FL native I just saw snow for the first time in my life this year…and it was just about a 1/4 inch here in Atlanta. Hope it goes away soon, but in the mean time the kiddos look like they’re having fun.
.-= Anne DiNapoli´s last blog ..Playtime =-.
That’s too much snow.
It snowed here yesterday, but we only got about 2-3 very wet inches. I woke up this morning and it wasn’t snowing, so I got the paths and driveway cleared.
Now it’s started snowing again. Tomorrow it isn’t suppose to snow here. Yet, it is suppose to on Wednesday and Thursday. So, I don’t know how much snow will have piled up on the ground by weeks end. I’m sure it won’t be nearly a yard’s depth like yours is.
Wow, amazing to me since I have never seen snow like that! We got 4″ in 1989 and that was the most ever.
.-= Melanie´s last blog ..Are we done? =-.
I have never seen that much snow at once, and I live in the Mid-West. Looks like everyone is having a blast though.
.-= Allison´s last blog ..Why I Started Blogging =-.
Well I’m sure it wasn’t all peaches and cream, it sure looks like fun now that the sun it out! Throw a snow ball for me.
.-= Krystyn´s last blog ..The Shred-PSF =-.
Holy Wow. We’re supposed to be getting about a foot over the next couple of days…don’t think I’ll complain.
Holy crap!!! Good luck with that!! I mean it, seriously. I hope you come out of this mentally unscathed.
.-= Suzy Voices´s last blog ..On My Soapbox and PUPPIES! =-.

That snow looks pretty…pretty from a distance. Don’t think that I could get used to living with it though. I like my shorts far too much.
.-= Jack´s last blog ..Instant Gratification Is Making Me Instantly Impatient =-.
Loving all the pictures from my local peeps surviving Snowmageddan. It’s nice to see people out and enjoying it. Now are you ready to do it all again tomorrow?? We will survive. Spring will come. I will be able to enjoy the beach where I live. Nothing like positive talk, right??
.-= Mel @ A Box of Chocolates´s last blog ..A Before and After Look at Snowmen =-.
35 inches is huge. We only got about 7 and it shut down the city. More coming tonight which probably means much more for you.
This kids look like they’re having a good time and that’s all the counts. Here’s hoping for a snow day for me tomorrow so I don’t have to get up early…knocking on wood.

Holy shit balls. I keep seeing images of this snow and everytime I’m just amazed!
Time to move south and get my shuffleboard on.

Holy cow that is a ton of snow. I just want a few inches to look at here in Texas. Feel free to send about a fourth of it this way.
