What Do You Do?

My fun blizzard turned into a slight nightmare - kind of. During the afternoon I heard many bumps and thumps, but throught nothing of it since it was like the Wizard of Oz outside. But on our way back in the garage, Jason pointed out several shingles in the front yard. He hoped they weren't ours. We couldn't tell from our front yard so he headed over a street to use the binoculars to check it out. He didn't think it was too bad, but really what are you going to do. There was no way that I was letting him get on our roof especially since it would have been three stories to the ground!

As the night progressed the winds got stronger and by the time Ally had to go to bed it was at its worst. It sounded like someone was snapping a huge rug on top of her room. She slept in our room for awhile. We wanted to put her in the guest bedroom (aka Grandma Rhonda's room) but there was a terrible hissing/buzzing noise outside that window. At one point it looked like everyone was going to snuggle up in our bed - sure would have kept it warmer! The winds proved to be very powerful and finally died down about 3 a.m. Still didn't get much snow just more cold air!

We woke up to MANY shingles on the ground. Jason got up there in the afternoon when he got home from work. After hammering away for a couple hours, we think we have it fixed. Jason is quite sore from the experience though.
