In the space of about 8 hours, we lost almost 18 inches of snow.

Crazy, wet, soggy, and destructive weather produced a major meltdown.

My Dad, who came for a visit on "official business" (Carl is working on his website) was stranded here for a few extra days. All roads leading home were either flooded, washed out, covered in mudslides, or avalanches.

Aren't they cute with their matching macs? They would like you to think that they are busily working on important professional stuff. Instead, those guys had an ongoing quest to be the winner of "the longest drive", or "closest to the pin" on their golf game. There were moments of ugliness.

And, just to show that it isn't always pretty and perfect around here...
