As you most likely know, there was a bit of snow here last weekend. And by "a bit," I mean "like two feet." It started late Friday night as Tricia and I were coming home from the movies (side note - Up In the Air was a commendable, if not particularly happy, film. I'd highly recommend it.), and while the roads weren't bad yet, it was only a matter of time. The snow continued overnight, and by Saturday morning, my yard looked like this:
By noontime, Kathy was so bored that she made the trek over from her apartment. I made her measure the snow (9 inches at this point) before I'd let her inside.
She was so bored that she even offered to shovel my front walk. 
She came inside after that, and I let her watch me make cookies. Don't ask me why the picture is flipped sideways...I blame Blogger.
After a few hours, you could barely tell that the walk had been shoveled.
The snow was up to 16 inches by then.
Kathy re-shoveled the walk, because she is awesome. 
Kathy re-shoveled the walk, because she is awesome. By dusk, the snow was up to over 20 inches. It made the cars look like Snow Beasts.
The snow stopped by the next morning, and the sun was out. Kathy and her shovel and I and my awesome snowbrush attacked the Snow Beasts.

After awhile, the snowbrush got a bit saturated, but we didn't let that stop us.
We walked over to Kathy's to free her car too. That giant pile of snow on top? That's how much we got. Craziness.
Once we finished, I worked on Sunday's culinary boredom-killer: peppermint cupcakes with mint chocolate icing, as iced with the cupcake decorator Tricia gave me for Christmas. Even though my coworkers didn't get to eat them until Tuesday because everything was closed on Monday (yay snow day!), they still received rave reviews.
