On Feb 2, 2010 we got the blizzard Lon had been predicting all winter! About 30" of snow fell in Gainesville. We were without electricity for 36 hours. Luckily, we were pretty well prepared, although next time we will try to have more firewood on hand, and more food that doesn't need to be cooked. Lon used the grill to heat up his coffee water, and to cook our meals until the power came back on. It was so beautiful with everything blanketed in white. Poor Blizzard had a very hard time getting around in snow deeper than his legs are long, so Kip finally made a path for him through the back yard to his pooping place... It took us two days to shovel the driveway wide enough for my car to fit through, and by then I was really ready to get out to the rest of the world! If it doesn't snow ever again, it will be too soon for me...
