Snow, snow, and more snow

[sue_n_julia]

Since Thursday, we've received nearly a foot of snow! The city finally learned its lesson and started pretreating and plowing quickly. Some of the streets still aren't really clear, but all the major thoroughfares and many important side streets are. That doesn't mean getting your car is easy. Julia said that there was snow 3/4 the way up Buster's hubcaps this morning. So, we are going to look into whether or not there is any room in the building's garage for us to rent. We'll see.

With all the snow we were having (and the lack of confidence in the city to make the streets safe), we elected not to go anywhere. So, we stayed home and watched the extended release of Return of the Kings this weekend. AND all of its extras. We didn't watch the commentary, primarily because everything was just too intense to do back to back on this. All I can say is WOW!

We are getting things back on track after the holiday vacation. I still need to finish taking down decorations, but wasn't feeling steady enough (with aching joints) to climb the step ladder to get the stuff from around the windows. Hopefully, I will be able to do so this week, although our temperatures are about the plunge again (possible below 0 temperatures at the end of the week -- yikes!). Boy am I glad I work from home right now.

This is why I hate winter in the DC FedroSplat. Too many people don't know how to drive in our traffic in general to start with. Add slush or freezing rain (our two most typical types of winter precip) and you might as well park your car in the driveway and wait for April.

I did leave the car parked in December and it still got hit! It's all fixed now.
