Snowmageddon Stats

Yes, I know that it's been a million years sense I last posted. I've been busy, up until a week ago when DC was treated to the most snowfall it's seen sense 1892. Yes, as in 112 years.

I was basically stuck in the house from Friday the 5th until Friday the 12th (I did go to work in last Monday and Friday) . In honor of this dubious occasion, I thought I would share my Snowmaggedon stats.

Deepest snowdrift in our backyard- 40 inches

Time waited in the grocery store line on Tuesday night- 1 hour (Yes we were part of that particular madness, it's not my fault we were out of milk)

Number of lessons I had to reschedule- 30

Time it took me to get to work via public transportation on Monday between the snowfalls- 2 hours (It normally takes me 20 minutes)

Number of times a fell down while trying to get around outside- 4

Movies watched- 6 (The Princess Bride, Shakespeare in Love, Pride and Prejudice, Empire Records, Singin' in the Rain and Star Trek)

Heroes episodes watched- 16 (Yes I know that I'm a dork, and I know that this show isn't that good, but it was oddly memorizing while the snow was falling down.

Baked goods created out of sheer boredom- 3 batches of cookies and an apple crumble

Settlers of Catan games played in my iTouch- 200 (Ok, so this one's probably an exaggeration, but I played it a LOT, like enough that I had to fully charge my iPod twice on Wednesday)

Happiness factor of my puppy as she got to bound though snow twice her hight- 10

Happiness factor for me while tromping thought knee deep snow so my puppy could frolic- 3 (and all 3 of those points come from seeing her so happy, none from actually being outside)

Days until our street got plowed- 5

Percentage of sidewalks shoveled last Monday- 30%

Percentage of sidewalks shoveled today- 70%
