Blizzard 2011 - Columbia, MO

Good Morning! I wanted to get these photos up yesterday but I had computer troubles. The following photos were taken yesterday morning between 8-10a.m. This was the state of downtown during the early hours of the snow removal operation.

Our apartment building.


Broadway, looking west.


Just one of many signs gracing the front doors of businesses.


Alley A.

Me, by the Get Lost Bookshop.

9th and Cherry, facing north.




Cleanup on the MU campus in front of the Geology building.

After my solo trip I encouraged the guys to bundle up and get out with me. Logan loves big machinery and I thought he'd enjoy seeing the equipment in action.

Here's what remains of a snowman that Seth and Logan built last weekend. This is on the east side of the courthouse, which we often refer to as our "side yard".






What better way to end our snow adventure than with some homemade snow cream. Just a little milk, vanilla and sugar to taste...

...then mix it in with the snow...

...and top with sprinkles! I topped mine with chocolate and it was yummy! We saved a bowl of snow in the freezer so we could make more later.


THE END!
