Surprise March snowstorm (aka: Saturn)

A few weeks later, March 7-8, we had a "surprise" snowstorm (called "Saturn" by The Weather Channel).  NWS was calling for 4-8" around our area, and we wound up getting 16"!  The storm was centered well south of New England (off of DelMarVa) but some of the wrap around bands of snow really nailed us.  School was cancelled for the kids and Todd stayed home with them, although his work wasn't cancelled.  Mine wasn't cancelled either, so I drove to the train station and then took the train to work.  When I got back at the end of the day, MBTA hadn't plowed the West Natick parking lot, so I couldn't get my car out!  Todd had to pack up the kids and come and get me.  Later, after they had plowed, Todd brought a shovel and shoveled out my car.  It was a much bigger mess than the Blizzard!!!


Here's Natalie trying to catch snowflakes on her tongue.


Here's Grant in the snow... or, at least the top half of him anyway.  It's amazing he can see anything from under that hat!


The kids got to make a snowman with Daddy on their day off!
