Comments on: Looking at the Storm With Optimism http://betterinbulk.net/2010/02/storm-with-optimism.html Daily thoughts on living with a large family. I often share the tips I've learned as a photographer on how to get better pictures.

Yup, we got about 3.5 feet of snow here in the Baltimore area, not too far from you. Thankfully we only lost power for 30 seconds, but I know many are still without power right now. If you did lose your electricity, hang in there! And I can't wait to see your snow-storm pics. I've posted a few myself...have a great SITS day! .-= Multiple Personalities´s last blog ..<a href="http://pocketfulofbliss.blogspot.com/2010/02/february-snowstorm-part-2-sundays-in-my.html" rel="nofollow">February Snowstorm, Part 2: Sundays in My City</a> =-.

I was sooo bummed out. Snow gives me an excuse to get things done around the house... Oh well! Maybe next time right? Stoppin' by from SITS!

I'm near Harrisburg, PA, just about 90 minutes from DC. We ended up with about 23 inches of snow, but we didn't lose power or anything.

We would have been up a creek. I did look out at our power lines at one point, noticing how low they were from the snowy branches hanging on them and got VERY nervous. Glad to hear your power is back on! Fingers crossed it stays that way! .-= Carabee´s last blog ..<a href="http://landofbean.blogspot.com/2010/02/stages.html" rel="nofollow">Stages</a> =-.

The heater makes our house go up to about 78 within 30 minutes of running it, and it takes a few hours for the temp to drop back down. As far as what we did, there was a lot of reading, playing with legos and playmobil, and shoveling going on today.

So much snow! But we are fine. We lost power for about 18 hours, but it is finally back on. We stayed warm, our food stayed cold, the kids stayed happy, and we're all safe. Couldn't ask for anything more. It has been a crazy storm. So much snow! But we are fine. We lost power for about 18 hours, but it is finally back on.
