What to do when you get 18+ inches of snow.

Friday night: Shovel the 4+ inches of snow that fell already, and let the kids play outside way past their bedtime.

Saturday morning: Shovel enormous amount of snow, and be thankful that the sidewalk is only 15 feet long. Try to figure out how to shovel the walk next to house, since there is nowhere to put the snow. Give up on shoveling the path in the back since the pine bush has basically fallen over on it. Begin to dig out van, which just looks like a really big pile of snow. Break two snow shovels. Give up and eat lunch.

Saturday afternoon: Finish digging out van with a garden spade. Understand that this really sucks. Come inside and start to learn Haskell. Think really hard about what to make for dinner, since you couldn’t go shopping today.

Saturday evening: Do a hang board workout.
