Why did that silly, little groundhog have to see his shadow? I can't take six more weeks of Winter!
I enjoy living in a place that has all four seasons. I just wish Winter were shorter...preferably one week duration, with one snowfall guaranteed. Yeah, that would be nice.
My little Ford Ranger's been plowed-in in my condo parking lot, and the snow shovels are at the house. I needed to check on things at the house and shovel the snow there, so I walked the 6.1 miles to make sure everything was okay, shovel the sidewalk, clear a path to the house, and clean off the decks. When I got to the house, I was thrilled to see that one of our neighbors used his snowblower to clear the entire front sidewalk of the houses on Grove Avenue. Thanks Jamie!!
For the next four hours, I did the other shoveling duties. The snow was light and fluffy on top but had an icy, slushy base. My estimate (based on the width of the snow shovel placed on end as a measuring stick) is that we had 26" of snow at our house. That's a lot of snow for DC! Then I walked the 6.1 miles home, with a snow shovel, so I can dig out my Ford Ranger tomorrow. I'm too tired to do that tonight.
Did I mention that Andreas is in Key West, FL for work this weekend? Poor guy missing out on all the fun here. Here are some pictures of the snow.
