Snow is so pretty to look at. Driving and trying to get around is a whole different thing.

Picture twice that amount of snow, and you will have a good idea of what Maryland looks like. Right now it's a white out...blizzard conditions.

Shyra said:

That was at 9AM. I should take another one to show what we've been hit with in the last 3 hours. It's snowing like a MUTHA out there now.

chocolate1 said:

...and there are too many idiots who don't know how to drive in hazardous conditions. SLOW DOWN!!!!

I'm the 2nd house in from a main street, which is also a pretty steep hill. I was standing at the bay window before, and a car went flying down the hill! WTH?!

I should go get all the kids on the block and have a big snowball fight

That sounds like fun!

chocolate1 said:

I don't know what the reason is, but this is our nation's capital. Shouldn't we have all the same provisions in place? Even if we only got it every 5 years.

Y'all might not go back till Spring, shit.

johnart said:

Hey works for me. My daughter has the week off school anyway. They decided that Tuesday morning.

chocolate1 said:

yeah.

Either that or tell them I buried money under the snow and give them shovels so the front of my house will be clean.

johnart said:

I agree. Those who are out to get us have the perfect opportunity to invade DC right now...

You're evil.

only sometimes

winter nightmare...





my car is out there somewhere

When I woke up this morning and looked outside, I thought; "this is it?"

I drove to work with no problems. The roads were slippery, but everyone seemed to have stayed home, so it was fine.

Now (it's 12:50pm my time) the snow is REALLY coming down hard, and I'm that they let us out early.

...but it sure does look nice outside!

Now THAT’S what I’m talkin’ ‘bout!

thekidsgirl said:

i wish i was in MD right now.

We use to jump off my cousin's balcony into the snow.

maybe i should go jump off a fire escape on the side of the building

It's like spring here today, sunny beautiful. I can see grass again.

If I know Canada, you guys will get a blizzard in March.

DanceWme said:

awww hell no!! There is not enough snow in NY for that!! Come down here and you can jump out of this tree

thekidsgirl said:

i wish.

sextonseven said:

Perhaps. Remember 2 years ago? I was crying daily about the amount of snow we had.

CarrieMpls said:

But how are all the neighborhood kitties surviving out there!?

thekidsgirl said:

oh no!

I think we still have a few hrs to go, no?

I just came back inside...
Wow! That snow is really coming down!

I opened my door to retrieve my newspaper and my cat "Black MackDaddy" ran out. I thought he would take one look and think, "Oh, hayle naw!" and run back in the house. Little mofo stayed out about 20 minutes and I was getting frantic thinking he had gotten trapped in a snow drift or something. I whistled and he came running up the sidewalk as if to say, "Dayum, that was fun!"

My other 6 cats are stationed at the patio door to the deck watching the birds feed. Boots tried to go through the door to get at them. I put out birdseed and toasted some bread and cut it up in tiny cubes. I was fascinated to see all the different birds: cardinals, blue jays, mocking birds, sparrows, orioles, black birds, wrens. Oh, they're so fun to watch!

thekidsgirl said:

Kitties are tough, you’d be surprised.
My first cat when I was little was out overnight during a huge snow storm and my mom saw him emerge from a drainage pipe in the road in the morning.
They know how to find shelter. They’re survivors.
