I awoke in the morning from my food coma. The weatherman got it right, albeit slightly off in the estimated delivery time. We had a good blanket of snow everywhere and it was still falling. The poor shrubs and saplings all crippled under the weight of fresh snow. The power lines sagging with a couple of inches of snow.
Shortly after we were moving around the house and visions of biscuits with leftover ham were tossed around - the power went out. Pretty hard to make biscuits without electricity. Adrian reported the outage (pretty sure they know when it's out with their fancy technology stuff, but this way they call back with estimated times of power restoration). The boys rocked out with the guitars, fired off the nerf guns, and made a mess with play doh. I chatted with friends and family via text message. Adrian surfed the web with his ipad. You know, all the things people did before electricity was invented. We ate cereal for breakfast and now we're out of milk.
The power came back on a couple hours later but it was at least another hour before the boys figured it out. Adrian ventured out to find key survival items like coffee. A Dunkin Donuts was open, score!
I cooked an omelet with leftover ham and cheese and baked some dinner rolls from the freezer for a late brunch. And then it was time to check out the snow! Snowball fight! (For those keeping track, this is the third snowfall this winter. I'm sure that's a record. We really don't get this much snow in NC. It must be global warming or the President's fault.)

On another note, our teenage boy neighbor had a girl over to build a snowman. Cute.
