March has plagued the Northeast Nor'Easters, pummeling us with 3 major storms in just 10 days.
The first was really windy, the third was really icy, but the second was a monster.
A monster that dropped 24 inches of snow in 8 hours.
School was canceled for 3 days.
Most were left powerless for 5 days.

We were fortunate to only lose electricity for 24 hours, and with our blessed generator, spared feeling any of its effects.
We spent the next several days trying to fill our home with as many powerless people as possible.
Because everyone needs a little heat, and warm food, and hot showers and charged phones in the middle of a winter state of emergency. And we remember that need all too well.
Plus, the kids loved occupying their time with so many different faces. After five days, we were all a little desperate for a break from the monotony (and each other).
Ryder and Allen continued to prove their awesome, spending the mornings and afternoons out selflessly serving others: filling gas cans, searching for and setting up generators, and shoveling the stuck.
They were, quite literally, the power {providing} duo.
Winter always seems to provide an unexpected experience.
But now, I am really really just expecting/counting on/begging for Spring.
