Ernie has been enjoying the snow we got this February, but Hank and I remember Snowmageddon, the Blizzard of 2010. It was actually 2 storms that came one right after the other, first on February 5th and 6th, and then on February 9th and 10th. Since we’re closing the books on February 2015, we all sat down to reminisce about the Blizzard of 2010.
When the snow first started to fall on Friday the 5th, we were full of excitement. I was chasing the snow plows. It looked like it would make for a fun weekend. The second wave of snow hit on the 9th and 10th. By the time the snow stopped falling, the piles of snow were a lot bigger than we are, and all activity was at a standstill. We knew this storm was different. Life was on hold for about 2 weeks.
To help Ernie better understand what we experienced, we put together a few of our favorite clips. Looking back over this, although it seemed pretty bad at the time, it wasn’t a huge disaster. We never ran out of food, which means everything else would work itself out.
