Snowpocalypse 2k11

Hey Ya'll!
I'm a bit late posting about the snow that shut down Atlanta 2 weeks ago but alas a late recap is better than no recap at all. 

On Saturday, I convinced Brendan to go grocery shopping with me. The forecast was calling for a snow/ice storm to hit Atlanta on Sunday afternoon and I wanted to be prepared. Walmart was a zoo but we managed to stock up on all the necessary things as well as some goodies(beer and Oreos). In true Atlanta weather fashion, the snow did not show up Sunday afternoon as scheduled and I was beginning to get anxious. However by about 8pm, the snow started falling and the schools started closing. (little did I know that we would be out of school all week). As soon as Fulton County said they were closed, our quiet chill  Sunday turned into a Sunday Funday as I busted out the bourbon and whiskey from our liquor cabinet. 

On Tuesday, I woke up to the sight of more snow than I had seen since 1993. Our driveway was a sheet of ice and our yard was covered.

Our house in the snow. Notice the tire tracks in the driveway, we ventured to Target on Tuesday to get more oreos and PBR. 

After talking to friends and family,plus watching the Weather Channel, I would estimate Atlanta and the surrounding areas were dumped with on average of 6 inches of snow plus another inch of ice. 

After Tuesday, I was ready for the snow to melt and get back to work. Huey, on the other hand, in true Saint Bernard fashion, loved the snow. 

Then Thursday arrived and even Huey was ready for the snow and ice to go away. I snapped these pictures of him on the couch. Following each picture, Huey let out a very long and drawn out sigh. He's such a goof!

Huey loves to snuggle on our new couch from Pottery Barn. He's an even bigger fan of our new fleecy pillows.

Okay Mom, 4 days of ice is enough, either make it snow more or make the ice melt!  I'm ready to go outside and play!

Fortunately on Thursday, I was able to get out of the house and go visit my parents in Sandy Springs. Luckily B had a baseball meeting so I was able to tag along in the car and make a trip to my parents. Per the request of my mom who was craving red meat, I stopped at  and picked up some burgers for us to enjoy for dinner. 

The weekend of Snowpocalypse was probably the most fun minus the awful Falcons loss. I won't go into Saturday night because that was a bust in so many ways.The good news for the weekend though was that  Uncle Rob came in town for the market at the Apparel Mart so on Sunday, my mom, B and I hit up the Mart to check out Century's new showroom and take a look at other vendors.

To end the weekend, Mom, Dad and URob came up to Milton to treat B and I to dinner at our favorite: 

If you have not eaten there and live in Atlanta, you must go. They have the best garlic rolls and Italian food! The rolls are delicious and I could make a meal out just eating the rolls! 

Well that about does it for my recap of Snowpocalypse 2k11. Here's to hoping bright blue skies and sunny weather is headed our way soon!
