All snowed in

Washington DC weathermen never -- and I mean NEVER -- get weather predictions right when it involves the white fluffy stuff. 9.9 times out of ten, they'll be calling for "the storm of the century" and, when all is said and done, a mere dusting of mush is all we're left with.

This time around I heard rumors on Friday morning that we'd get a few inches starting that evening. By late Friday afternoon the rumors were ranging from 8 inches to 20. Next thing you know, "snow-pocalypse" was the leading story on the nightly news. And, yes, this time they got it right. They predicted a lot of snow, and A LOT is what we got! Not sure of the final count, although I think it's just shy of 2 feet in our neighborhood.

My car might not make it out of the driveway before Spring; it completely disappeared inside of a snowbank. Thankfully Noah's SUV has 4 wheel drive as does our truck, which I hate 364 days out of the year...but am loving today!
