It’s the Christmas Snowpocalypse 2010!

Posted on by

Yes, while New England is under a blizzard warning with predictions of 15-20 inches of snow and my beloved Syracuse set records for the amount of snow in December before getting to the start of winter, we have it worse. Much worse.

It’s a total disaster here. Walk outside and you hear the wailing of woodland creatures. Or maybe the neighbor’s feral cats. And there’s a tree down!

Oh, the floranity!

So far, we have consumed all six gallons of milk and five loaves of bread today. We’re also down to our last three dozen eggs … we are concerned. Because of this, we are venturing out to friends for dinner later on. They report an ample supply of smoked turkey.

Okay, so maybe it’s not that bad out there … but the dog is not amused.

One of the family traditions is a new ornament for everyone on Christmas that represents something from the past year. Since we did a Carnival cruise over the summer, the Mrs. decided to make ornaments in the same manner that the ship’s crew makes towel animals.

We now have an elephant, a dog, a monkey and a lobster for the tree. (Or, since the last one is mine, a lobstah.)
