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.
