Blizzards are just a hurricane with snow! They mean we stay inside and bundle up the kids as soon as the wind stops blowing and send them out to shovel the driveway. If they do a good job, they get hot cocoa. With marshmallows. They're actually pretty cool, just inconvenient until the roads are finally cleared. And everything looks beautiful covered with snow for the first 24 hours. Hurricanes scare me way more - Irene hit us last year and there were people without power in our area for over a week.
