Snowpacalypse 2011

I live in the Midwest.  Near Chicago. I am used to snow.

But a blizzard? With thunder and lightning?

Kinda freaky.

Thankfully, my loves and I were nice and cozy at home, not stranded on LSD.

That is our vegetable garden.
The fence around the garden is about 2 1/2 feet tall, but you can only see the tops.
