Our patio
How many times have meteorologists been incorrect with their forecasts? Many, many times, right? Well, this year, when they were predicting snow for late October, most of my friends and family didn't really take it seriously. We should have. We were shocked when Mother Nature dumped 10 inches of snow on our neck of the woods! |
In the middle of the snowstorm we braved the storm to go to a Halloween party. We slipped and slided a little in our travels, but made it to the party safely. We were sure glad we did because it was a fabulous party! The kids all played together in their costumes and we enjoyed socializing with the adults. After several hours of partying, we carefully drove home in the snow and, thankfully, we made it up our icy hill.
On Sunday, my husband tested out our snow thrower which had just had a tune-up. Everything was in working order and he was able to clear our driveway. We headed out, but found that lots of places were without power due to the many trees that fell on power lines, so we went to lunch/dinner, then came home.
Halloween Monday arrived and school was closed because of the power outages. Many towns postponed Halloween, but our town did not, so we trick-or-treated through the snow with our family and friends in an area that was without power. Our night ended enjoying pizza at my brother and sister in law's house by the light of candles and a battery-operated lantern. Fun times!
