The first blizzard of 2015 was truly a wind driven snow for over 24 hours.  Accumulation was hard to measure, but Beth says over a foot, easily.  The drifts are higher than her waist.  We fared well and did not loose power.  Watched lots of Netflix and played the piano.  The animals basically stayed in, especially the cats.   We have to go out later in the day and Beth gets to go in late to work.
