We have had 3 major snow storms in Cambridge this January. Our snow totals are around 40" for January alone (not counting the Christmas weekend Blizzard that dumped ~15"). Boston has already spent HALF of their 2011 snow removal budget in the first 3 weeks of the year.
They have really perfected clearing the sidewalk in front of our place. Although, our snow removal company forgot about us this AM and our garage was plowed in until 10AM. I had to cancel my MD appt. Elevator dead, car dead, trapped in garage, all with in 2 days. Well, statistically speaking, these things should not be issues when I go into labor...
And what better way to get labor started than to go for a snow hike pulling a 32Lb toddler on a sled?
Our bike path
Kate's only complaint? No fast enough. I was trying....
I could have taken her pic all day she was so happy on the sled
Then she spiced it up a bit.
She literally was in over her head when she finally scaled the bank. I couldn't take pics and help her stay up at the same time.
Look at these banks! The snow on the side of Mass Ave is so deep, it is essentially one lane (on each side) at this point. Some side streets are barely one lane and not worth venturing down. People parking on the streets have lost mirrors.
This is how most sidewalks look. Those that are cleared are only about a foot and half wide. No strollers out there these days!
How do we get into the bike path? Kate thought this was great. I really wish I could be up there with her
Chillin
The snow banks on Mass Ave are taller than Kate
Thank god she can pretty much dress/undress herself these days (even her mittens!). I have a had enough time getting my own boots on and off
The best part of snow, as Kate reminded me, is the hot chocolate. Kate wanted to sit on a book like Curious George does....
It will be a miracle if baby isn't born during a blizzard. Forecast for my due date (Feb 2)? Possible heavy snow....
Kate is sick of it. I needed to really coax her out for this last storm, but once we were out she had a great time. School cancelled today!!
