The drift on the side of our drive.

Me doing battle. Don't I look a bit stuffy? John's snow pants came in handy.


Windy and wet snow today. We are 28 hours into a 40 hour storm. 12 more to go!

Hunkered Down.

Here in the Shenandoah Valley, we are getting pummeled with snow. Both John and I have gone out and shoveled our drive today, he this afternoon and me this evening. Wet snow. Heavy on bottom, light on top...kinda like how some people are built. I think by now we've probably had about 9 inches of snow, and when you don't have to drive in it, it's very pretty. It was about 31 degrees outside when I shoveled, so I didn't even bother wearing a coat (I also couldn't find my ski coat). Tomorrow will be much colder, and the storm isn't supposed to let up until tomorrow night. Anyway, here are some time-lapse photos taken of the snow on our deck.

I cranked up the heat to 67, just in case we lose power. It's a sauna upstairs! And now, time for bed.
