Snowzilla

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.

We're getting snowed on now, but ti is supposed to turn to rain tonight and get warmer over night--a very strange day.

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

The weather on this planet is very strange at the moment.
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.

Wow--Bavaria. I bet it's beautiful there. Btw, do you mind if I friend you, since we have so many friends in common?
