Thankfully I had ths warm Columbia jacket which I wore from 6:30 AM until 7 PM Saturday, when the power came back on allowing my furnace to start working again.
I do not mind being stuck in the house, the roads have not been plowed as of yet. But having no power was pretty scary. I'm really thankful the house is warm again.
I woke up late today, had some hot tea and watched the Pittsburgh Penguins lose to the Washington Capitals in overtime.
Here are a few pictures of the 2010 Blizzard, please post a link to your blizzard pictures in the comment section.
I just went online with cabelas and ordered a few supplies so I will not be so helpless the next time the power goes out. At one time I had every backpacking and survival tool known to man, but over the years they disappeared. So I needed to replace and prepare a little better for the future.
An emergency radio with four different power sources, that can also charge my cell phone.
A propane heater that is safe for indoors as well as a propane lantern.
Hopefully I do not need this stuff again for another 10 years...... but at least I will be better prepared.

I'm glad to hear your electricity is back on. That can be super scary.
Here's a pic of me and Freddy. We were out digging through mountains of snow and making snow angels. He has a snow beard, hahha.

Great pics! He is so cute
I hope you don't need it - ever, but good to have. Glad you're okay.
You know, it's scary to see you bundled up and read you are stuck in a house in a blizzard w/o electricity or heat. You need a fireplace or wood stove.
I would link you to pictures but we in New England have no snow. It's practically barren up here. We'll take yours because the ski areas, while making terrific snow of their own, could still use a nice boost.
Hi Greg. We've had it pretty bad in the UK too with the snow. I haven't got any photographs of it at it's worst, but here's a link to one I took just as it began to snow. We were at the cemetery to lay family wreaths.

Thank goodness your power is back on now and that you had that lovely warm jacket to see you through!
Erica, I enjoyed your photographs too. :) How cute is Freddy!
13 inches of snow!! Wow I have not seen that much snow in forever. I am glad your electricity is back on. That makes for a miserable day.
We got about 4 inches today. I have not posted any photos yet but I hope to soon.
Your photos are lovely even though the snow caused such distress.
Ok, I know this is going to sound crazy, but I'm actually jealous of all that snow!!!!! I love the snow and have always wanted so much of it that it shuts down the town I live in and yet, it has never happened. Even up here in Upstate NY!!! It figures Pgh would get all that snow after I move away....
