Let’s just say, in D.C. enough to keep the mischief loving politicos away! Even I had seen this morning on Drudge report that even President Obama got stuck in traffic. Wow!

I got about 18” on top of the almost 30” still there from the previous storms.

Oh, and there’s a layer of ice in there as well.

Most snow accumulation on the ground that I’ve ever seen & I’ve lived in Connecticut all my life. (And, I was in college during the blizzard of ‘78, so I’ve been here awhile)

Was really worried about my roof, but son #2 shoveled it for me Tuesday & hubby found a sot that still had roof rakes!

It is a good time to be almost 100 percent work-at-home.

Shocking that there would be snow in winter. It’s never happened before.

So far the wineter here in Maryland has been unusually cold for an unusually long time.

We usually get a few breaks where the temp goes up to 60 or so for a few days. That hasnt happened this year, but the snow hasn’t been bad so far.

Just a cold winter. No big deal.
