Every winter since we moved to Indiana from Michigan, Christie and I have been anxiously waiting for “the big one”……a huge snowstorm that shuts everything down for a few days. Yeah, I know that this sounds weird, but we think it would be really cool to be snowed in our house for a few days of family fun. 
Well this February our wish finally came true. On Monday February 12, there were reports that central Indiana was going to get hit with a major snowstorm. We’ve heard these warnings before only to have them never materialize. However this time they were right. By time the storm was over, Marion was hit with 16 inches of snow.
The worst of the storm hit on February 13. The boys schools were closed for 3 days and I even got two days off of work as the Indiana Wesleyan University campus was closed for two days. The city of Marion and Grant County was under a weather emergency, which meant that nobody should be out driving around. We had a great time playing in the snow and digging ourselves out.
