The weather was really funky this week.&nbsp; We had tornadoes on Tuesday and ended up at WTRE with Gigi when the sirens started going off.&nbsp; Tom and Matt hit the Greensburg airwaves, aiding Sandy with&nbsp;the emergency&nbsp;broadcast around 8 pm.&nbsp; The winds&nbsp;got so bad that it actually ripped the cover off our pool, taking with it 5 of the posts that held it in place and putting a really nasty bend in it on one side.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=300 alt=snowwheels2 src=\"http:\/\/www.scheumann.us\/BlogPhotos\/PoolDamage.JPG\" width=400 border=0 alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; In this picture, you can also see a few of the new homes that have gone up in the field behind the house.&nbsp; There are currently seven homes at varying stages of development.&nbsp; The temps then took a nosedive, falling over 40 degrees total &#8211; within 24 hours &#8211; to right around zero and freezing the cover in place, half buried in the water!&nbsp; We had a winter snow storm advisery, but we ended up getting a little ice and that was about it&#8230;we were really wanting the snow so we could finally get in a little sledding this season.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; Matt earned a 2nd place in his science fair project this year!&nbsp; He did an experiment on plant growth and development and we are very proud of him for putting in many hours of hard work over the past couple months.&nbsp;&nbsp; You can see in the picture below that he got a letter jacket on Thursday, so he&#8217;s now officially cool&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=300 alt=snowwheels2 src=\"http:\/\/www.scheumann.us\/BlogPhotos\/ScienceFair.JPG\" width=400 border=0 alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;
