Snow

[ny biker]

AH, the 1996 one, shut down the federal gov't for a week. Well, technically for Monday and Tuesday, then opened Wednesday but no one could get into my office, then shut it back down on Thursday and Friday. That was a very good blizzard!

I was in NYC for that one. Buses and taxis abandoned on the street, and the shelves at Blockbuster were pretty much empty. I wasn't really paying attention to the forecast for that one until my boss called me at home the day before and told me not to bother attempting to come into work.

10 million tons fell in DC today, according to the Channel 4 weather guy yakking now.

My son will be going to the Giants Redskins game on Monday. They said they will need 1200 people to clean the snow out of the stands.

MDHill, I think I heard that 700 people are spending the night there (nearby?) so they are there in the morning to clear snow, and I guess the other 500 will be arriving when possible!

Zen, your pics are great! The one with the red barn is really beautiful, and the pic of the little dog with his ears flying is excellent! (The one of the dog standing is cool, too!)

Can you find the bike rack on this car?



Me, either!

I read on the beeb about the wintry conditions up yonder way & hope everyone's keeping warm.

I do have one odd request. Don't post the pic here (you can send it to my email address though ) but can someone make a lewd snowman? I know it's juvenille but i'd like a giggle.

Snow angels are cool too.

I love the pics

Is this like "Where's Waldo?"

Heard from my son last night. Left Anaheim on schedule, the airline telling them "no delays." Of course, being a semi-native New Englander, he was skeptical. Their connection was in Phoenix, where they promptly were told that that couldn't get to Philly until Monday. Funny, how the tough Marine calls Mom and Dad in these situations! Anyway, since he's stranded in the "desert of his birth," as he puts it, he called my DH's sister and will be visiting his aunt and uncle, and grandmother, along with his wife's cousin.
We have about 8-10 inches, but it seems to be tapering down. South of here, it's a mess, with a lot of power outages. Just about a half hour NW of here, there's no snow at all.

Blizzard here! It's so windy my French doors blew open in the middle of the night.

Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner!

I've added pictures to the photo album.

Beautiful clear deep blue sky today. I suppose this means I should go shovel.

After I finish my coffee and pumpkin bread, I mean.

I'm going to wait a few more hours before I head out to clear off the car.

They still haven't come to plow the parking lot in my courtyard or shovel our sidewalks. It makes sense to wait until they do the lot so I can shovel through the giant ridge of snow they'll leave in front of my car. Besides, my car is parked in the sun so I'd just as soon let it warm up as much as possible before I start to work.
