The Blizzard of 2010

from AccuWeather

We're nestled in the 12-18" range. Kelly's parents, in Eighty Four, PA, were right on the border of the 18-24" and 24"+ overlap in southwestern PA. They got it BAD.

February 5-6, 2010 Snowstorm

Well the Mid-Atlantic was walloped with an abnormally large snowstorm last night and today. In Sinking Spring, PA we received at least 15".

Me measuring the snow depth. As of 8 AM we had approximately 15 inches, and it snowed heavily for another 3 hrs. My estimation is about 16 or 17 inches when all is said and done. Not too shabby!

I had to go to work at the Shop this morning. Hey, Goodman Vending needs their stuff! It took me some time to shovel a path to get the Honda out of the garage.

Just 2 tire paths, that's all I need!

Of course I eventually got it done. But 15"+ of wet snow is rather heavy. It was quite the burden! Wish our "snow thrower" was graded for snows of 18" or more. Sadly it's only good up to 8"... and I'm not sure it could even handle that much!

I made it to the Shop and had to shovel there too.

I noticed that not much shoveling had been done by mi padre. Crap.

The snow looks really beautiful in it's pristine, untouched state. But, sadly, it must go for operations to run smoothly.

There was close to 14" on the ground at the Shop in West Lawn, PA. Looking good, dad!

After fulfilling my duties at the place of employment I headed home to clear out the rest of the driveway. Kelly's gonna have to get her car out for work Monday. More shoveling!

Kelly's car, covered. That's not good.

Kelly and I attacked the snow from all angles. Of course we had only 1 shovel so I think the snow made a valiant effort to slow down our process. I tackled the heaviest stuff until Kelly took over.

Well, that's a start.

Driveway done... at least for the Honda to get out of the garage. Time to attack the side where the Buick is.

Ahh... that's better!

All that's left is the pathway to the front porch. Take it away, Kelly.

Shoveling master.

With all of the hard work done it's time to relax. Hopefully sledding later!!!

Happy New Year

Wedding & Reception

Yeah, the whole day rocked.

More pictures here.

Thanks to all of our family, friends, and those involved that made the wedding day extra special. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful setting or time with so many great people!

Site Updates Coming

Well I'm home. For good. Kelly and I made the trek from West Lafayette, IN to Sinking Spring, PA over two days 10 days ago now. We left on Friday, June 19th and arrived here Saturday evening. We've unpacked (for the most part) and Kelly has returned to her family for the final week before the wedding. Yes, that is THIS SATURDAY. Holy crap.

Anyway, with me being home now I've had a chance to go through all of my Star Wars stuff. I have a bunch of pictures to add that have been missing, indicated by the ambiguous "coming soon" image. Fear not! All those will be gone soon. With the help of my best man Brent B. I was able to go through all my extra stuff and things I'm willing to part with to come up with a "for sale" list. I'll be posting that sometime this week as well.

So check back often these next two days as I add images to the site and list things I have for sale.
