It started snowing around 2 here I guess (I'm in Northern NJ), but it hasn't amounted to much. I'm so jealous of all of my friends in VA, I want more snow!

...Not that I go out and play in it, but dammit I want a white Christmas =[

Its picked up here. Harlem doesn't really get shoveled like the rest of the city

it actually felt colder last night.

I also had a dress on tho. So yeah.

I still think the snow got hyped, for NYC anyway. But time will tell.

We've already shoveled the drive twice. I've been in Baltimore three years and this is the first time we even bought a snow shovel. Snow never even stays more than two days. I can't even estimate the amount since the wind has blown it around so much. It's as deep as four feet in areas and as shallow as two inches in others.

We have about three inches of snow on the ground so far here in CT. DH and I were going to attend a friend's birthday get-together this evening, but our friend cancelled the event because of the forecast. So we are hunkered down at home, relaxing and hoping the power doesn't go out.

I have a really awesome headlamp in the event power goes out I can still knit. You should get one for your cross stitching

There's at least five inches in the yard here - the little dog is hard to see outside, with the snow up over his little tummy! Yet he plays and plays, even though "some" parts of him must be crazy cold!

The forecast said to expect the "real snow" to come to blizzard proportions by the end of the week. After what I've heard about Virginia, I'm glad I cancelled my tickets to an event outside of DC this weekend!

One of my sorority sisters is in grad school at Old Dominion and her flight home to OH was cancelled today, so she's been stranded at the airport.

Is she at ORF? Cuz that's one sucky airport in which to be stranded. I was stranded there once so I totally feel for her.

This is my first blizzard--I am a California girl at heart!

I just moved to Northern Virginia/Metro DC in May, so this is my first blizzard... we have probably 18" on the ground! Work called today around 12 to tell me not to come in and I have no clue if we'll be open tomorrow or not. Sure hope roommate's and my flights aren't cancelled this week--she leaves crazy early on Monday (BWI) and I leave medium early on Wednesday (DCA).
