Boy did we get snow!

Yesterday we awoke to find snow and both DH & DS stayed home.... THANKFULLY! not only did DH brush off the satelite dishes for the tv & internet as the snow piled on but then suddenly we lost all power!! oh about 10 or 10:30 am it was snowing like crazy and now we have no heat!! DH phoned the electric company and was told that the trucks are having trouble getting to the problems... not what i wanted to hear!! ;) The snow was absolutely BEAUTIFUL falling in such big flakes but no heat?!! hmm, we called the electric co. back later and found out they are not planning on getting electricity running till 10:30 this morning!!!! So DH decides we got to try getting to a motel for the night and made calls. we even tried to go LOL we NEVER got far from the driveway!!! Yes we wound up spending the night here, cold and hungry!!! The power seemed to come back about midnight THANKFULLY and so we at least had some heat (of course AFTER we piled on the blankets!!! lol) anyways, here are some pictures BEFORE the snow got really deep. i think we got nearly a foot!!
this pic is from yesterday morning about 6:30 as we awoke.


our bamboo is bending from the snow

And here is Cookie introducing Coco to his first snow.

now he is braving the snow and exploring.

here his little feet started getting cold but just look at that HUGE flake that looks like its by his nose (its actually closer to the camera)

i did get a small chance to play in photoshop but then the power went off and i lost what i was playing with hehe of course! But hopefully we will have power all day and i will get to play some more! :)
i am off now to visit you and your blogs! Thank you sooo very much for spending this time with me. i will post more pictures later to show JUST HOW MUCH we did get!!! this is a first and we would NEVER have guessed this area got this much! lol Stay warm and dry!
