The new skill I acquired these past few days is how to participate in a snowball fight and shovel the driveway at the same time. After getting pelted mercilessly for several minutes, it finally dawned on me that I had a shovel full of snow (I can be a little slow sometimes).

With all the wind, we lost a 6 ft. long piece of metal flashing where the back wall of the house meets the flat roof. No sign of leakage so far. I’ll just have to keep my fingers crossed while the snow melts.

The word is this is a once in a lifetime snow event for the Philadelphia area. As you can see in the pictures, the boys are making the most of it.

If I hadn't brushed up against the car and exposed a headlight, you could have mistaken it for a snow drift
