All said and done, we got 19" here in Waltham. Of course, the good news was how nice and light the snow was (good for daddy's back). The down side - lousy for snowballs and snowmen, which bummed our kids out to no end. What they did find amusing was jumping off our retaining wall and into a 6' snow drift - luckily they were dressed for such daring activity (although DW questioned my parenting skills for allowing it, LOL). It was great seeing them play so well together because it was getting pretty dicey after spending a whole day inside (how do you spell cabin fever?).

Karen - I'm sure your husband had a busy day yesterday. My next door neighbor plows for a couple of towns in the area and does residences, too. He had a 14 hour day yesterday and when I saw him driving in he said all he wanted was a hot shower, a couple of aspirins and a stiff drink (and that his kids were in bed).

Maura - did you get your kids out yesterday?
