Storm Juno, Blizzard of 2015

     Welp, New England has gone and done it!  After last year's polar vortex and receiving over 110 inches of snow, Worcester being the most snow received last year in the nation, we were not sure how this years winter would be, but New England did not fail us.

     The week before the big storm was about to hit, we got a little storm that laid down a few inches of snow, and then the Saturday Storm Juno was suppose to hit, the big storm warning started.  It was another big Nor'easter coming through and it was getting the name Storm Juno, Blizzard of 2015, and of course #icezilla.

Thanks for the warning Boston

It started to snow Saturday late afternoon and just never stopped.  Before we went to bed there were maybe a couple of inches on the ground, but when Sunday morning came we had a big surprise waiting for us to go and shovel.

What our front door looked like

The Boston Mayor put a ban/restriction on road travel Saturday night starting at 11 pm through Monday night at 8 pm, except for of course "Essential Healthcare Workers" which includes Ryan and I.  Luckily, Ryan was on an elective cardio rotation so his attending didn't require him to be at the hospital.  UMASS hospital kept all the essential workers at the hospital who were working the weekend for over 48-72 hours and just kept them on a rotation, but no one could leave.  I on the other hand had to be in at the pharmacy so I had to brave the storm.  Not the funnest time of my life, but since we service homes who require us to get them their meds, it had to be done.

Anyone who was out on the roads and wasn't an essential healthcare worker received a $500 ticket.  I got pulled over once, no ticket, just the cop and I agreeing that it was retarded I had to be to work.

So due to me having to brave the storm and try to make it in to the pharmacy we had to do some shoveling and playing of course.  These pictures are of the first round of snow, we had received over 18" in less then 24 hours and the snow was still coming.  In total we received about 34" in 48 hours.

Someone just loves to play out in the snow anytime she can.  This is her letting us know it's time to go outside.

What a crazy winter we have had so far.  This was the big snowstorm that started winter off.  We have since received three more big storms which has put down over 103" so far for the winter of 2015 and it isn't over yet.
