Scenes from the big snow!

by Cindy on February 8, 2010

What a white winter wonderland we have here! The blizzard here on the East Coast was incredible… we were spared any power outages so far and know that we are lucky. I feel for those nearby that did lose their power, and still are without power today. It is COLD out! It looks like we broke the previous record for snowfall set in 1996, with over 32 inches of snow! The kids hustled out today leaving plates of bird food, hoping our feathered friends will find it. Everything is buried!

Here are some photos of how we fared in the last few days. You may be wondering what this gigantic marshmallow-looking thing is in this first photo….it’s a table out on the deck! It’s a good representation of just how much snow we have around here!

Thank you for stopping by my chilly neck of the woods! My next post will be the big BEAD SOUP PARTY show and tell!

Since the groundhog saw his shadow….

…we were hit here in the DC area with snow! And there’s a big winter storm warning for the weekend. Here are a few shots from our wintry wonderland. I’m sure there will be many more after we get the foot (and more) that they are predicting! 🙂
