"Snowmageddon" of 2010

It snowed! Lots and lots and lots this weekend. It. was. awesome. (said like that little kid on The Incredibles)

It started Friday evening and didn't stop until Saturday afternoon. Estimates range from 22 to 28 inches for Philadelphia, so I'm not 100 percent sure exactly how much, but obviously enough. I spent a lot of time sitting at my kitchen table just watching it fall. Totally transformed the view. Everything is completely covered by white. Its very pretty. Looks like winter. Wish it looked like this for all of winter. Got bundled up on Saturday afternoon (when it was still 22 out but supposedly felt like 7 according to the weather report) and went playing with my friend, Noria. By playing I mean throwing myself into piles of snow, literally throwing myself, I even have a bruised knee as proof. (apparently one pile wasn't as packed as I thought so I plunked right through it to the ground) but made snow angels and tried to pack snowballs but it wasn't wet enough. It was wonderful. The roads hadn't really been plowed so people were just walking in the middle of the street, also because the sidewalks were like up to my knees almost. Very peaceful and quiet and makes all the other cold and non-snow days worth it. And we're supposed to be getting more snow on Wednesday! If I hope for a Snow Day am I jinxing it?

I was very good today and spent time catching up on my reading and getting ready for the week. Didn't watch the Super Bowl, but I did just happen to switch over during commercial on Nightly to catch the Tebow commercial. I don't know what the big deal was, it was like the lamest commercial ever and didn't even explicitly say anything about abortion. Hopefully I can see the highlights of some of the good commercials later this week, though.

Very excited that Pancho is coming on Friday to spend Valentine's weekend! We're going to this romantic French place, Bistrot La Minette, over in Center City for dinner. Haven't done anything fancy in a long time so really looking forward to it.
