BLIZZARD OF 2010

The snow storm that hit us over the weekend was the biggest snow storm EVER in Washington DC.

The pictures speak for themselves....

snow! snow! snow! - Damon really is in his little heaven

look closely - That is a car's side mirror right next to Damon. He played with his sweet friend Cindy for 4 hours out there!

our lovely parking lot. Love how the snow plow blocks all the cars in?

The pics of Damon and I were taken Saturday morning - it continued to snow for another 9 hours after this

this pine tree outside our door made a cool little tunnel

snow up to my thigh

the view out of our doorway

church cancelled (2 weeks in a row), schools cancelled for days, grocery stores closed, post offices closed, 200,000 people in the area without power, (we were very lucky).....it has been pretty insane around here. This morning I went out to warm the car up for Mike, and all the car doors were frozen shut. I finally got one of the back doors open, crawled into the front seat, and still couldn't open either front door from inside the car.

Mike also had a good time yesterday heading up a huge snow removal project with the snow plow truck guys, and a bunch of neighbors. We were knocking on doors to get people to move cars so the truck could move snow.... I wish I had a video of him. It was hilarious. People were so grateful for him. I felt like I should have been out helping, but Brixton has had a bad cold...so we just stayed warm inside.

For as much drama as these storms cause around here, it is exciting that we lived here during such a historic storm!

We're supposed to get another 5 inches tomorrow.
