Great Blizzard of 2010

Early in the morning of the last snow fall, Little Kat went out to play. He measured a whopping 22 inches of snow in the yard. And all the snow had not fallen yet.

The power went out on us. We had a little propane cooker. I figured that in the future we should stock up on propane. We are going to get a new shed some day. I could choose to have the shed in the corner of the yard, with a big supply of propane. Nice.

During the storm we sheltered in place. I used duct tape to seal the windows in the basement shut. Little Kat put up some reflective shiny material in the windows to keep out the cold. Grannie Kat advised us to fill the bath tub full of water. But the water leaked out twice even though the stopper was shut.

There was no light in the kids bathroom. They came to take a shower in me and Momoko's bedroom while we still had hot water. They got a taste of how the broke down shower in the house works. Only a little water trickles out when you turn the hot water on. Weak.

I still got a lot to say about living through the blizzrd and power outage. More on that later.
