Time: 17:00
Current condition: light snow/snow flurries
Troop position: 23-23.5 inches
Troops MIA*: 11
Word on the ground: "Victory!"
To be honest, my hope was fading for my toy soldiers. However, at 14:30 the weather took a dramatic turn. The heavy snow dramatically slowed to light snow. It has continued these past hours, but without significant accumulation to add. So, I will declare my toy soldiers have been victorious over the 2/5-6/2010 winter storm (called the "Superstorm" by local news).
Just in case this all seems to be a bit surreal, check out this shot of when I pan out to include the whoe yard stick. Yeah. I'm not kidding...
*Missing in action status should not cause any alarm. My plastic toy soldiers will not suffer from frostbite or hypothermia. However, it might take a lot of melting before they are back to fight the next battle...
From Friday: The troops have gathered outside my apartment. We will soon wage an all out defensive on the winter storm that has only just begun. The news has predicted 18-24 inches. My soldiers are prepared for the fight. If it goes over 20 inches, my men may have to surrender without aerial support. I will update this post often so that you may witness the battle.
(Facebook readers will need to check my blog at 28seasons.blogspot.com to see updates.)
Who will win this epic battle?
I believe winter is going down!!!

That is hysterical. Especially the part that indicates you already had toy soldiers in your house. I don't even have toy soldiers in my house, and I have two little boys that liver there, too. :) I'm telling you, the faster you come see me, the less snow you'll have to deal with! Stay safe, Tina.
This is great! I was thinking about you when the news said what was coming. I wondered when you are leaving and if you would be getting out before too much more winter. I heard winter would be bad, and I assumed that would effect me, but apparently it is just bad other places.
GO JOE! love the soldier idea.
