I feel like all this snow is a big fat mini test (Does that makes sense?). A test to see how well we are prepared for an emergency. From this crazy snow storm I have learned...
I need to stalk up on pillar candles. Our electricity has been off twice now. Not for long periods of time. Nothing serious, but enough to let me know I need more light.
I need D batteries for my fireplace.
Our ward is awesome. I can't tell you how many calls we've had making sure we were all good.
I'm thankful for a tough truck. Very handy.
Cell phones rule as long as they are charged. Thank goodness for car chargers.
Pray more often.
Read scriptures more often.
I love my stinking kids to death. An extra week of no school will certainly put that to test. I loved it.
Do not do last minute Christmas shopping online. Shipping is not guaranteed during a snow storm.
Food storage. Food storage. Food storage.
I like snow better than rain!
Sid beating Boston down the hill. I guess it was a tad flat for the board. So Boston says anyway.

i love this! there's nothing like a good snow storm to test how ready we are for a big emergency!
i can't believe all of the snow that you guys are having! it's crazy!
i love all the snow pictures! stay warm!
I cannot believe the snow you guys are getting! It better be all gone so you guys can get down here though. It looks like the kids are having a blast with it too!
We have been learning the same lessons:) I'm like you though, I like the snow much more than rain!
You've lost electricity? Have you stayed warm? I'm with you, i like the snow much better than the rain too.
I need to talk to you about batteries for the fireplace, wonder if ours works the same way. I like snow, but it needs to be off the roads at some point for me to enjoy it more. We are learning the same lessons on shipping.
I learned the 'last minute shopping on line' lesson, too. One of our gifts has still not arrived and I ordered it last Monday. Bummer! I'm holding out hope for tomorrow...fingers crossed.
We lost our power for a while too and I was so glad we had just bought some new cool LED flashlights.
Snow is better than rain because it makes everything look clean.
So I guess you all had a white Christmas? LUCKY!
I just can't really say much. :(
A battery operated fire place? I'm going to be checking in with you for details on that one, nice!
I have loved our "test" I think you put in beautifully!
I hope your Christmas was awesome!
Sad I missed you guys. You know, the 40 is only a four hour detour - here & bach to flag. It goes to Cali!
Yes, we were glad to be prepared, too! I wish Boston had been able to get some more air (is that the right term? :-)
YES I was feeling it. A little eerieness amid the fun.
