Snowpocalypse 2010
We’ve almost got the driveway cleared.
Indoor play now involves a wish to dye her hair red and have a trenchcoat. Just call her Scully-anna.
I took this from the garage Saturday morning. We couldn’t open the door to get out. That black part at the front is the wall of snow when we lifted the door… and it should be noted we shoveled twice on Friday night so that we wouldn’t have to deal with as much on Saturday when we got up!
“Gov. Martin O’Malley said it will take highway crews days to get travel lanes, ramps, shoulders and turn lanes clear along interstates, U.S. and Md. Routes. He said clearing this snow is more challenging than the Dec. 19 storm because the snow is wetter. Plus, temperatures plunging into the single digits at night is not helping matters any.” From Carroll County Times

See, it takes a former northerner to take proper pictures of the Snowpocalypse! You take pics out the back window, people, and I have no idea how deep it is. But you take pics of the snow banks — and the awful wall of crud the plow leaves at the end of the driveway — and now I get it.
Seriously, that amount of snow’s no joke, even up here! Of course, I’m from upstate NY, where we get so much lake effect that what you just got’s a dusting, but still.

Obviously some people are having a good time. Stay warm!

Chris, even these pictures make it hard to convey! The one third from the bottom - that’s from opening the garage door Saturday morning. We couldn’t get the door open so it was the only way to start to shovel out.
Bill, we are having a good time! Lots of books, games, movies and hot chocolate.

If you don’t fight it, it can be fun. Bet it feels like Canada again.

It reminds me of childhood, Patti. The odd time we’d get a big storm and schools would be closed. Which actually wasn’t all that often.
I’ll be extremely surprised if schools aren’t closed at least tomorrow, and possibly Tuesday as well. And I’m okay with that.

The kids just cheered when they learned school is canceled tomorrow.

It’s snowing here in Denver, but I’m sure we’ll end up with nothing like that.
Enjoy the snow days with the kids, there don’t seem to be anywhere near enough of those these days…
