Last Sunday I woke up to a snowstorm and no power. We were without power for 3 hours. My husband, my personal weatherman (http://chucksweather.com) said we were going to be getting snow but who knew it would be that bad. Charlie took the liberty of getting a few pictures for me later in the afternoon.
The snow was really wet and heavy. We noticed a few snowmen around town as it was perfect for that. It sure did some damage to the trees. In the picture above, our apple tree has a broken branch.
With the power going out, I had to take off my cpap early too. I had just started wearing a cpap at night just Thursday night so Saturday night was my third night and then the power went out during the night. I found out that the first cpap wasn’t for me and on Monday switched to another cpap. The first one left blisters on my face so obviously it wasn’t a good fit for me. The second one seems to be working much better. Now I am hoping that one of these days I will feel rested when I wake up in the morning. I am sleeping better but still tired most days.
With the snow storm and colder temps, we also had the furnace go out for the downstairs part of the house and had to wait for MDU to come over. So it was a little cold for the kids downstairs for a day or two as well. Good thing we had lots of blankets and that it wasn’t overly cold yet.
The kids were disappointed when it started melting and you could see green grass again but I am glad. It sure makes it easier for Halloween if we don’t have snow on the ground. Hard to say if it will stay away that long though. I am never quite ready for snow though, until Christmas time.
