Blizzard 2009

I moved out of Canada to get away from the snow. I have been able to find one positive aspect of New Jersey. It always made me happy that we usually have a dry Christmas. We usually get snow once a year and not until January or February. Not this year! We got almost 2 feet of snow over the weekend. It came down so hard and fast that I went to work on Saturday night and had to stay in that town to be able to go to work on Sunday. It was cold, wet, and miserable. I know I have officially become old when I hate the snow and can only enjoy watching my kids savor it from the comfort of the window. I spent Saturday morning digging my car out for over an hour because I was stuck on the side of the road at 5 AM trying to get to work. I got to work and discovered that EVERYONE had called out and I was left working with a skeleton crew. I left EXHAUSTED! I guess it's not bad considering we have lived in NJ for over 6 years now and this is the most snow I have had to suffer through. At least it doesn't snow in October/November like other areas in the North.
