I wish I could play 'Blizzard' on Words with Friends

Good Morning all.

I am very excited for the next 36 hours or so.  I appears a major snow storm is approaching and I hope to be able to keep on top of the snow via this blog.  I've taken the liberty of shooting some before shots to document the snow fall.  

 This first photo is of my mailbox.  In all likelihood, shoveling this area out will be the most difficult as plow trucks will continuously attempt to block the USPS from finishing their stated rounds...where is Kevin Costner and Ford Lincoln Mercury when you need them!!  In all honesty, I bet the mail carriers wish it was August 2013 so they wouldn't have to deliver mail tomorrow.  With that in mind, I sent myself a combo #18 from Dragon Island yesterday so I will have food delivered tomorrow if we get snowed in.

 This photo is a look at the whole front of the house.  Notice the new truck in the driveway!!!  That beast will get me to Dunks tomorrow morning before I start my shoveling.  I've already confirmed that my favorite Dunks will be open throughout the storm.  (It's the one near Walgreens and Sub-Villa)
 The walkway leading up to the house.  If the storm is as big as they predict this will be the only way out of the house...all of the other doors open outward.  I've got to remember to put a shovel in the front hallway otherwise I will have to Andy Dufraine my way to the snow blower. 
 The back yard.  Way off in the distance is the snow blower.  I like a challenge, so we put it as far away as possible.  I am sure half way to the snow blower, I will have to resort to eating the dead rugby players from the Andes Mountains.  Nando didn't have the same motivation as I will have tomorrow: A Large Black Ice Coffee.
 This photo shows the stairs leading to my house.  I'm hoping I can slide down them tomorrow morning because that would be fun.  In reality, though, I will have to shovel the snow off the stairs and then off the driveway next to the stairs. 
 My unofficial goal is to have steak and eggs for breakfast tomorrow.  This means I may have to stay up all night to keep a path to my grill.  It will totally be worth it though.  If the drifts are big enough, I may try jumping into them off of my deck.  I was always told that my parents jumped off of the roof of Lavoie's Ballard during '78.


Here is my Blizzard Survival Kit.  In no particular order, I have included Coca-Cola (Diet flavored, cuz I'm watching my weight).  Eric Cypher's Jenga game...he left it in my car after a Pats Game.  A good book, a kickball, and a pack of Oreos.  You'll also notice a snickers bar and some Bugles.  In the foreground is a roll of masking tape.  Years ago, I invented a game called Tape.  All you need to play is a roll of masking tape.  I will probably end up playing Tape if the power goes out.  It's not much, I know, but it should last me the first hour of the storm, or so.
