Hurricane Sandy in West Virginia

So, with Hurricane Sandy bearing down on the east coast and threatening the inland areas as well, we made sure to have a few extra provisions in place.  All went well at our house.  Just some snow...  But about the third deepest snow storm we've seen in 3 winters here.

We didn't lose power... Didn't lose water...  Didn't lose internet...  Didn't lose TV... Just lost a day of work...  

The kids LOVE the fact the school is out.  Tuesday because of snow and Wednesday because of "wide spread power outages"... There are folks that I work with that lost power, still don't have it.  Friends from church without, school friends, even our old community were we used to live is out.  But not us... Pretty stinkin' lucky...

It rained all day on Sunday and Monday... Turned to snow at about 2am Tuesday (so I read), I was up at 5:30am and there was about 1.5 inches... The school called and put classes on a 2 hour delay, by 8am there was 4-5 inches and school was canceled.  It snowed until about 5pm when it turned to rain.  It rained on the snow most of the night and there is little of it left.  But we took advantage of it while it was here.  Word has it that just an hour to the south and 2,000 elevation in Beckley, WV they got 27 inches.  We didn't get any of the wind that was anticipated either.

This is my "Hurricane weather at our house" picture.

A little snow on the vehicles.

Here's a picture of Isaac and Lexy riding out the storm.  With no school they needed to find something worth while to do. ;)

Here's Lexy all bundled up in her snow playing close.  With two coats on she couldn't zip up the second one. Ha.

Isaac, always the dare devil, was looking at jumping from the railing to the snowy hill below.  About 4 feet below his feet.  What fun.

Here's Lexy later in the day dressed in FASHION cold weather clothes.

She is all about style and fashion these days.
