It snowed the entire day! Literally we had over 24 hours of snow...starting at ~6 pm last night. And in total we got over 30 inches (it's hard to tell the actual amount since the 40 mph winds created quite the snow drifts) on top of the at least 1/2 foot that we got last Sat. From the front window you can't even see Daddy's car...it is completely covered! Now those of you in Chicago will probably say, "that's nothing...just a typical winter day." But for out here it's the blizzard of the centry with record snow totals not seen since the nineties...so I guess you can say Philly was due. :)
Needless to say, we didn't make it to work & school today (and are still wondering about tomorrow). Morgan got out a little bit this morning and definitely seemed to handle the snow better than the first snow fall (until her mittens fell off and her fingers started tingling). Apparently being 2 makes a big difference! But with the winds, for most of the day we stayed inside and enjoyed watching the snow, playing with toys, bringing the snow in to make a winter wonderland in the sink, and making our first batch of cut-out cookies (idea courtesy of Mr. Cookie Baker...Morgan's new favorite book).
Update: 2/11 - Still snowed in. Today the sun was shining though and it was a little warmer. Daddy even took Morgan sledding at our local park...a few runs and she was done, but she did seem to like it. :)
