Winter of 2011-2012

This winter has been one of the weirdest winters I've ever experienced. We've never had ground covering snow for more than 6 days, then a warm front comes and we have barely any snow for a while. Like last week. About 2 weeks ago it was always warm and fairly sunny. Then Friday night, last week, we got more than 15 inches of wet snow. Branches broken, power lines down all over the place, and of course, bushes flattened to something like a pancake. My family was one of the lucky ones. On Saturday morning, we only had power outages for about 2-6 minutes and off then on flashes. While others didn't get power until like this past Friday. A week later. What did I do while we had oh so mush snow? I saved trees with my dad, with a stick. Then I spent about a half an hour saving my moms lilacs. I was a warrior in training. That day was so boring. No Internet. Just books and the outdoors. I spent so much of my time outside, I have no idea why I spent so much time inside reading. Now today, we barely have any snow. Not one flake of snow is on the trees now, just broken branches to remind us of the devastion that heavy wet over 15 inches of snow did.
