Fun in the Blizzard of '09

I am sure most of you have seen something in the news about the giant snowstorm that was supposed to hit the East Coast. The last time I have seen this much snow was the Blizzard of 1998, when I lived in Colorado! This storm broke the previous record for most snow recorded in 1932.
We stayed indoors most of the morning and afternoon, preparing for our trip to visit my in-laws in Switzerland, but late afternoon/evening we ventured out to play...

Patches didn't want to spend much time outdoors... for some reason

Wow that is crazy! Did you still have to work and go on with life like normal? I hope you can find some good sledding hills.
