Blizzard weekend

All three of us (fiance and 12 year old) made it through the spring blizzard of 2009! It was my first one and to say the least, it was really fun! It was almost like Christmas, I couldn't sleep the night before, I wanted to stay up all night and wait for it. The next day was so exciting I couldn't get things done around the house.
The weather had hit overnight and there was a nice blanket of snow on the ground. Granted it's already spring and there are some trees budding at this point. I wonder if the trees and grass get confused by this?
Any ways, so the blizzard rages on all day Friday, I don't go into work because you can't see for anything. Visibility was about 100 yards. Had to take a vacation day, which I think is total crap, but whatever.... can't do anything about it.
Friday night we try to "get out" but can't because of the snow, the drifts are getting pretty high (4-6 feet tall).
Saturday morning proved victorious for our escape from prison. We go over to a friends house near by and play games and eat. It was a blast.
My first blizzard will be memorable!
