Snowpocalyse.....sort of

inSo the weathermen here in Northern Indiana were shouting in the streets about a system moving into our area. This system was to bring not 1 or 2 inches of snow, not 8 or 9 inches, but almost 24 inches!! The weather people were oozing with glee!! Kids everywhere were praying for school closings. Adults were buying up eggs and milk like it was going out of style!! People were stock piling flashlights and candles, flamethrowers and machine guns....the "storm of the century" was upon us!

here is what the outside looked like before the storm hit

this is during the storm- you can't see how crazy the wind was though

Was it the "storm of the century"? Not by a long shot.....but it was fun watching the 6 or so total inches of snow fall. The VerHage family just sat by the window and watched it all happening while eating homemade soup. We are hoosiers and snow don't scare us! My family called me the morning after to see if we were completely covered in snow. My grandma couldn't rest until she knew we had enough blankets and heat!! So for now we close the book on the "storm of the century"....but we still have 89 years to use that title.
