Snomageddon

In case you haven't heard, the DC area just endured another major snowstorm this weekend. Seriously, we're breaking records all over the place. There was ample warning this time and the stores were a madhouse and we received alerts to be prepared to "shelter down for 3-5 days".

Craziness, right? Well considering we're on Day 3 and we've just been notified the Federal Government is closed tomorrow (and though I don't work for them, most of us go by their schedule) so we're easing into Day 4.

Cabin Fever anyone?

Hahaha. Who am I kidding?! It's been wonderful! Movies, reading, sleeping, cooking, baking...and chatting with my wonderful roommates. Oh and no work, did I mention that?

Here are a few pictures to document this incredible storm...

This would be my car and street before the storm. As you can see we had a little remnant of last Saturday's storm (we got about 6 inches then, but its mostly melted now-enough to cancel church though) but it was pretty clear. This was taken Friday morning around 8am, the snow started at 10:30 am and went until Saturday around 5:30pm.
Here is my car after the storm. Yeah, it's hard to tell..but that's my car buried under the 20"+. Insanity.

Our front steps and sidewalk-my roommate Jami was on it, she shoveled that as soon as the snow stopped. This picture doesn't do it justice, but that snow is pretty dang high.

Our street. The plows were busy and had come during the storm, but we haven't seen them since. A whole lot of ice now.

This would be me trying to walk back to Kim. I was wearing knee-high boots...they're pretty cute, too bad you can't see them!! Seriously, I have never seen this much snow in my life.

Oh and this would be Cowboy Caviar. Yup and it helped us through Saturday that is for sure. It is a dip with avocado, tomato, cilantro and a whole lot of other goodness and it is divine.

Look familiar? This would be my Tortilla Soup. Oh how I love this stuff. Kept me warm and full all weekend.

We were prepared, what can we say?

Kim baked homemade french bread. It was delicious!

As soon as the snow stopped, Kim and I went for a walk to see the damage done. Here is a truck trying to get off a side road. Not sure how he thought he'd manage that.

It really was a Winter Wonderland. It has honestly been a really nice weekend, we've been blessed to have power the whole time though others have not been so fortunate. The snow is starting to get a bit old- especially since we're expected to get 5 more inches come Tuesday night.

All I have to say is it better be nice and clear 7am on Thursday 2/11 so I can head to Utah for my birthday and Jen's wedding. So get with the program Mother Nature-Thanks for the day and a half off work, but enough already!
