FCPS used all 3 of its alloted snow days with Decembers's storm. This past Wed's cancellation means schools will be in session on President's Day and Friday's snow day has the kids having class on a previously scheduled inservice day. I am sure they will have at least Monday off. Many residential streets still haven't been plowed.

I'm glad I moved when I did. We got about an inch or two someone said, but it had all melted by 9am. Stay warm and stay safe.

Mel, you looked really cute!
I've often thought about buying Yaktrax. I think you just sold a few dozen pair!
Okay, the snowplow just NOW went by the house once. Whoppee. My pictures are nasty, and really don't show how deep the white stuff is. The little dog still won't go off of the porch - but that's okay, he just had surgery yesterday, and I'm just as happy that he can't mingle with others right now.

You should get a pair! I got some for my dad because I was worried about him falling while shoveling outside of his office and he LOVES them. I have the YakTrax Pro, which are more flexible and better for running, and my dad has the regular ones, which are sturdier and work really well for shoveling.

We got a bunch of snow, with a couple more inches predicted early this week. We're estimating we got 18-20" total.

Detroit is about to get hit tomorrow with a few inches. I seriously feel for those in DC and the affected areas. I remember a few snow storms we've had here but I don't remember anything that bad.

Alright DS encouraged me to put up a picture of my yard for comparison. Lol, I don't even think it rained here today like it was supposed to.
Somehow, I don't think they'll cancel work here tomorrow.

LucyKKG, you have a cruel streak!
None of the local streets here have been plowed, although two nice gentlemen shoveled my walk & driveway. The car is almost completely iced over, so I'm not so sure I'll be able to get into it tomorrow! The National Guard has arrived in their humvees, and we're still under a state of emergency. I'm techno challenged, but will try to get some pictures up tomorrow - I'm looking for a yardstick for the drifts!
Our power went out just prior to the Super Bowl, and came on afterwards. I guess that's what happens if the Steelers aren't playing in it!

Don't blame your team for missing the game!! LOL
We spent most of yesterday helping everyone dig out and then the roads are treacherous to the point where if you weren't driving a 4 wheel drive, you can hang it up...and worst the Metro isn't running above ground trains so even if I could have made it out I couldn't get to work....not that I'm comlaining...hehehe
And now they are saying we have more coming.
For once in a long long time we got a real winter.
