Blizzard 2011

Here's some pictures from our perspective of Blizzard 2011! Fortunately my office was closed that Wednesday, but we were expected to work from home. The kids were home with me, so I used my "lunch hour" to play outside with Ryan and the neighborhood kids.

Jason had to work that Tuesday night. Lucky for 4 wheel drive, or he would not have made it! He used 88 to get there and was glad when he passed a sign because that meant he was still on the road. The Naperville PD provided services that night by using 4x4 trucks as squad cars (borrowed from other city departments), ambulances were escorted by big plow trucks and several of Jason's co-workers had to get rides to work from those who could get around, or they camped at the PD. What a storm!

Our hero, Jerry! He & his wife Lynn used their snow blower on our driveway that morning (and several other times this season). Someday we will get one so that we can return the favor.


Ryan sliding down a giant snow pile in our alley. WHHEEEE!!


This cool drift was on the south side of our house. This picture doesn't do it justice - so cool how it curled up towards the house.



Ryan on top of a pile of snow while our neighbor Katie tries to dig a tunnel. Silly girl!


Our neighbor Cathy tries her hand at snowboarding! Go Cath!!


Ryan peeked out from behind a biiigggg pile of snow. All the kids were playing in this area.


And here they are! Again, this was my lunch hour - fun on Gillett & Diana Streets! Ryan on the far left.
