Snowmageddon (noun) A severe blizzard or series of blizzards or snow storms affecting a specific area.
What happens when the harbour gets 14 plus inches of snow? 5 days of no electricity and quality time with your neighbors. We had birthdays to celebrate and sledding competitions to win. We were thankful for our small generator and the ability to burn wood to keep us warm. We got creative with the camping stove and dinners on a stick.
The neighborhood kids got together to go sledding, snow men contest and of course snowball fights. We get snow once in a blue moon we do not get inches at a time. Jojo had her friend Hayley from AZ so it was a real treat.
We spent most of our time attempting to find fuel. The stores ran out of all the essentials thankfully we have a fully stocked pantry.
This was also the inception of what we now call Cruz and Friends Landscaping. The original company was Puerto Rican’s Petrol which expanded their services to offer summer services. We learned how to siphon gas from vehicles and lawnmowers.
All good things must come to an end and so with the harbour snow. After 5 days we got electricity and had to return back to civilization. Cheers to the next big snowfall.
