Just what we needed, another snowstorm dumping 6 to 12 inches of snow within a 24 hour period. I know for some that doesn't sound like much but it is quite a bit for us. Especially after the last storm a week before Christmas that left thousands without power; some didn't get it back until after new years. Fortunately this will be a drier snow so widespread power outages are not expected. Although I can hear the snow plows going by outside. Well I got plenty of food, firewood, and other refreshments so I'll just snuggle with DW and DS and enjoy a weekend of ... cleaning house? Oh well, gotta keep DW happy too. Hope the powewr stays on this time though.

Stay warm.

Stay warm too.

I have lived in the Northland my whole life, and I still get a thrill when I see a heavy snowfall out my window. There's just something about being safe, warm, and well stocked in a blizzard. Eventually though, the moment ends and you have to shovel out. Be careful not to wrench your back when shovelling.

i was really put off by the rotten shape the side streets are in Mpls.some are like mountain tracks with large frozen lumps of slush that batter the car around when you drive--very slow--over them..and the cold--it's 1F right now...but..then i hear that down in OK,which i think of as South,they are up to their ear's in snow with thousands without power.!!!

We're delighted! It's gorgeous outside and the heavier snows are still to come this afternoon.

Am polishing off a mug of coffee and then we'll be heading out to the National Mall for a photo safari.

This city is never more beautiful, serene and friendly than during a snowstorm.

But we ran out of milk and eggs this morning. Am trying to ward off the panic run to Costco....

Having a fun time here, lots of ice, little snow. But we were prepared.

New fun time, watching out the kitchen windows at the drivers attempting to climb a semi-steep hill. Tough to get a run up without traction, it's a double hill (my cul-de-sac road is in the dip, hills on both sides. Tally so far is 4 off the road, one slid backwards into another.

I called the police and DOT. So far the roads still open. No snow plows or sanders in sight. They "brine" here and it's not working at all.

We caught quite a bit of snow last night ourselves.

Stay safe and warm everyone!

HOw are you doing so far?

We were supposed to get 2 more days of rain and instead got a light drizzle for about 1/2 to 3/4 of a day.

How will you survive?

BTW a hundred miles north of you it's just a gentle flurry. My sister is visiting from DC, she'll be happy.

P.S. Post pictures of Gidget, wouldn't be a snow storm in DC without those...
