When we moved to Sacramento we were told the amount of rain the city got in the first month we were there was abnormal and hadn't ever happened. So now we have moved to Chicago and the usual amount of snow fall is 38 inches. We have already gotten 35 inches of snow and winter isn't even close to being done. We are under a blizzard warning tonight and Nick and I are running around wondering what that means. What do we do in a blizzard warning? We are in the midst of fizzing our basement because the day after we brought Isabella home our basement was filling with water again. We had to tear out out brand new carpet and demolish our brand new desk. I'm so sad because it was just starting to feel like things were getting back to normal. What is normal anyway, right??????
