Fog Light

Off to the airport, it was certainly a fast weekend but mission accomplished!

Temporary Chevy

We are up ungodly early to make our 6:40 am flight to Chicago. Here's the Chevy Malibu we rented which got driven not at all thanks to the storms. Still, being a car guy I had to point out my ride. Last night it was covered in a shell of snow and ice but John and I mucked it out.

All In Albany

So things are still a big dicey out on the roads, but with John at the helm of his trusty Jeep we made it down. And not just us, aside from Mari, John, Casie and I there was Mari's sister Debbie and her husband Rob (their puppy Buster pictured). Mari's brother Aaron, his wife Kristen and their daughter Samadhi. Mari's niece Rachael made it too, so it was a pretty significant family gathering especially considering the weather. For his part Bob, Mari's dad, seemed to be doing pretty well. I have a lot more pictures, but I tend not to like to post pictures of people without asking.

Snowed In Three

Something to give an idea about the snow level. Worry about getting down to Albany aside, we had a really nice day hanging out with the Huldens, catching a movie, having some good food, good conversation, and watching the Olympic opening ceremonies. 

Snowed In Two

It snowed pretty steady all day, seems to be letting up a little but freezing rain is promised.

Monumental Escape

Thanks to John's driving and his Jeep we ventured out to get some supplies and went to see the Monuments Men at the local theater. It was a little slow at times and never seemed to find it's voice, but was decent.

Snowed In One

We woke up to this today, and more snow is expected as well as freezing rain. Salem, which is between here and Albany, has been labeled as completely impassable by the news with warnings not to go anywhere near it. Albany itself is just as bad. So, with some concern we might not even be able to get to her dad before we leave early Monday, we have officially labeled ourselves snowed in.
