The storm is winding down here and we didn't lose power around here--I am grateful. It started here around 1 pm yesterday and should be ending in an hour or two. After I dug out my car this afternoon, I slogged around fording a path around my building and measured the snow in a few spots--it ranged form 13 to 18 inches. We should have a few more inches since then. We got off a little lighter int he NE corner of the Beltway than folks to the west of us. Here's out my living room window:

All pics are from this morning. A lot of birds were visiting A's feeders downstairs. Here's a white throated sparrow waiting his turn to fly down:

Here's the parking lot out my sunroom windows:

Middle car is mine--Gwaihir Jr., because it's a white PT Cruiser and thus looks like a giant eagle's egg. My back is a little sore from digging out today, but I won't have to do as much tomorrow. Hopefully, we'll be able to telework on Monday and not have to slog in through it. I am not looking forward to the ongoing icy conditions we will have the coming weeks as this stuff slowly melts.

glad you have power!
i am lucky in that two of my neighbors have snow blowers and enjoy using them in weather like this to justify keeping them. <3 they still leave a bit on the sidewalk, so more able-bodied family members help out by scraping off the sidewalk.
it will be a bit before my street is plowed.

I see that you are supposed to get a warm-up this week to help melt things. I wish you minimal ice and slush, and safe driving when you have to go out!

We'll get a little, but there's a lot of the white stuff around. We should get more of a warm up next week that will hopefully make a good dent in it.

I'm glad your snow is gone. I'm in Maryland, between DC and Baltimore. Where are you?

I'm living in Germany - Northern Bavaria to be exactly. The weatherman said this morning we'll have sun today or snow or rain. I love those acurrate statements.
