P365 - 2016 - Day 28 - SRMS 7th grade boys basketball

Basketball season was delayed because of the snow and two missed games.  Thankfully, even though I couldn't make it to the game today, someone got a photo of the team and shared it.  It's been a great season for the SRMS 7th grade boys basketball team - here's to a great last few games!!

Another day of no classes at SU but his night class at Ship was a go.  So off he went....

My Wonderful Husband had another day off because of the snow in Winchester, so he used the time to put our storage area back together and up higher.  Cinder blocks and plywood and we are back in business.

It was a snow day for My Wonderful Husband (we got flooding and some snow but Winchester got almost 40 inches of snow!).  The Boy and I also had a snow day but The Princess and The Bear only had a delay.  While it was nice to have a morning to sleep and an extra day with My Wonderful Husband home, I would be very happy if this was the end of winter.  I am not a fan and I am sooo over it.  Please and thank you.

P365 - 2016 - Day 24 - All in all

P365 - 2016 - Day 24 - All in all

We woke up to sunny skies, icebergs, a sparkling ocean, and some soggy items in storage.   All in all, it wasn't bad, and after cleaning out the mess and drying it out we made a plan to hopefully help if this happens again.   The sunset was a beautiful gift after a stressful couple of days....

P365 - 2016 - Day 23 - Winter Storm Jonas

Winter Storm Jonas brought high winds and high tides.  Those high tides from the bay brought flooding and as the river outside rose with floating icebergs, our storage area began to flood for the first time since Sandy (but probably not the last unfortunately).  So with no other options as the water came in, we formed an assembly line and brought in the important storage items... decorations, photos, kids' school memorabilia, etc... and eventually our living room was our new storage space.  The remaining things under the house were stacked in the center and we crossed our fingers that the tide would go down and we would not be left with too much damage.

Winter Storm Jonas is on the way... the snow has started to fall on the island and My Wonderful Husband took a walk over to Acme for some last minute staples.  Here's hoping that Mother Nature spares us flooding and the wind doesn't get too bad.  Snow is better than rain - the lesser of the evils I suppose.  We are as ready as we can be..... here goes.
