New Jersey Throws Us Another Curveball

You may remember that we were welcomed to New Jersey by Hurricane Irene. That was really something. Our next weather adventure has been dropped in our laps. Snow in October. That's right... snow. We have been displaced from our home by power outage resulting from a crazy snowstorm that blew through Saturday and Sunday morning. We kept hearing crack and thud after crack and thud... trees that still had their leaves that were now cracking under the burden of heavy, wet snow. Our neighborhood seriously looks like the apocalypse was just ushered in!! Gigantic tree branches and power lines down everywhere!! We have had slumber parties the last 2 nights with gracious friends from church who didn't lose power. We returned to our house briefly yesterday afternoon and the thermostat was at 54. Chilly! We're hoping for our power to be restored asap but for now we're living out of our minivan (that was a scary statement) and staying with friends!! Pics to come when we dig our camera out!!
