weather report

I love snow... except for today! It seems like every year people always say that "this is the worst year ever." So i'm documenting how crappy the weather really has been so next year when I say "this is the worst i've seen in years", I can look back and remember how truly bad 2009 was, and if i'm lucky, i may relive some of these angry feelings all over again!

From about March 16-24 the weather was beautiful mid-60s to 70 degrees. I was in shorts and t-shirts. Then we left for California the 26th and it was snowing that morning and the cold has stayed since. When we got back from Cali it was about 35-40 for a few days. Frigid. It warmed up to high 40s for about a week. Then it was raining and icky. On Easter - April 12, the weather was nice (about 60) but then the cold and rain started and again. And yesterday - the 15th it snowed heavy for most of the morning and early afternoon. It warmed up enough in the afternoon to melt it.

Then at 4am my blasted smoke alarm started beeping. The power had gone out and everytime it surged for the next 3 hours, it would beep. I couldn't get ready because I had no power, then I went to leave and saw that we had over 9 INCHES of snow in the driveway! Where did that come from??? Lame. So out comes the snow shovel, and here comes sleep deprived, ticked off Mieka to work... Watch out!

Jesse and I searched for which fire alarm battery was almost dead when we first heard it beeping, then we realized the power was out...NICE!
