And still more snow...






Well, I think we're about to break some snowfall records here in DC. The official measurement is only 16", but that's at Reagan National Airport, along the Potomac. Some of us had more - around here it was 24 - 27 inches, a lot for this area! John's been off work since Friday afternoon, and probably won't go back until Thursday at the soonest. The buses aren't running, and many roads are difficult if not impossible. We dug out our car on Sunday and made a quick run to the store this morning. They were getting a little low on some things, but we found plenty of food to get us through the next couple of days. We're supposed to get another 10 - 20 inches tonight & tomorrow. Yikes!
So, we've spent some fun times getting together with the neighbors, sharing food and playing games, it's nice to have some forced relaxation. As long as our power stays on it's okay...

Snow, and more to come!






Happy February! Mr. Groundhog saw his shadow so we're going to have six more weeks of winter. We hope you west coasters don't get too much more rain!
Here are a few pictures of our wintery view from earlier this week, it's so pretty when it's new and fresh.
The weatherman says we're expecting a much larger storm to hit tomorrow with lots of snow!
They're calling for 12 to 24 inches - somewhat unusual for this part of the country where a couple of inches is standard, but we've stocked up on groceries (& wine!) and we're planning an indoor weekend. This is all new for me, I've never lived in snow country so it's still enough of a novelty to be fun. At least for now.
Hope you all stay warm and cozy 'til Spring arrives...
