First Snowstorm 2014

Let me tell you this, I never realized how bad it was until I woke up to go to work at 6am and there was no electric power. No electric power means no heating, no hot water. I WAS NOT GOONG TO TAKE A SHOWER ON SUB ZERO TEMPERATURE. No!

Anyway, I went back to sleep and hopefully call work to check on the lab. I have such a dedicated team, 3 of the staff members volunteered to stay Thursday night just in case no one can come in on Friday morning.

I called Mr.Hubbs immediately upon waking up reporting the kids are off from school again and there is no power. He told me he can drop me off after he gets home. I look down the window and the pile up is about a foot of snow! Really pretty white fluffy snow, but how can I drive out when the roads are not plowed yet?

Stayed in bed after a confirmation that all is well in the lab. It brings me joy to see the kids in bed with me. Priceless! I went down when the power was back up to prep for breakfast. While having a Filipino breakfast I was telling the kids how we had power outage and we did not notice it. HERE IS THE REAL REASON FOR THIS POST! Josh blurted out - " oh no, we would not have rice." 

See, snowstorm, power outage and all that matters is NO RICE! Oh so Filipino! This is what I usually call FIL-Am problems.

Anyway, just sharing some pictures. It's not in any way worse than last year's but  bad nonetheless.

Mr.Hubbs plows the snow after his night shift! 

Pherry looks like a real Bostonian. It's not cold 'Ma!

.....and of course the kids would not miss this as opportunity to have fun in the snow!

Yesterday I brought them sledding at a nearby school. The wind is crazy but they had so much fun. What about you, what do you do with the kids on snow days? Were you affected by the storm?

Have a great weekend everyone!
