Blizzard of 2010: Day 1

Writing as I hear the snow plow outside in the parking lot, and there's a guy outside my building cleaning off the stairs.

Conversation with Michelle (roommie) this week:
Michelle: "I don't know where this snow is coming from. It's never snowed like this since I've been here(about 10 years total)."
Me:"Well, maybe if I go back down south the snow cloud will leave the area."

It's like I'm the snow fairy or something. I mean... it's not gone without snow for more than a week since I got here. It's crazy!

The Weather Channel and Fox 5 have been my go-to channels today and yesterday as we are currently in what they have dubbed "The Blizzard of 2010". Cool timelapse video!

The snow has been coming down since about 11:30, and they say we haven't seen the worst yet. They're expecting this snow to break the 1922 record. We knew it was going to be serious when the NRA closed offices at 1 today for the first time since the early 90s. I'm going to keep all you guys up to date on my conditions. Don't worry, I am stocked up on food, and necessities. My one concern right now is power. Please pray that doesn't happen. Wind is pretty bad, and the trees are laden with heavy, wet snow. I had a quick flicker at about 5:45, but nothing since then.

I decided to take this evening to make some granola for my breakfasts. The recipe made a ton, but it'll keep well, not to mention the fact that it gave me something other than my taxes to do today. Thanks to Brooke for the recipe!

This picture is actually from Tuesday evening's snow. It was actually quite a beautiful morning commute.
The beginning of my delicious granola (minus the wheat germ and wheat bran containers).
Oh, Publix, how I miss you!!!
I told you it made a ton! And it's quite a long process.
Right after I put the granola in the snow looked like this.
Let me out of my snow prison!!!!
Final Product!!
Note the size of batch. Anybody want some?
Snow after granola...


Check back in tomorrow morning for new pictures! Hopefully, I'll have electricity.
