February Snow

Welcome to the snowiest winter in DC history!!!! Apparently, it is not done, either. We got snow again yesterday and there may be some more snow this Friday (but nothing big....so, they say). I am not sure what the exact amount is, but it is over 55 inches for the 2009-2010 winter season. I am still shocked! The previous record was just over 54 inches in the 1898-1899 winter season.

Some people say, "Isn't cool that you can say you were there for the snowiest winter ever?!" I respond, "No. I did not move to DC because of the snow, but rather the opposite - mild winters like last year."

Yeah, I just wish the snow would be done. The problem is that there is no where to put all of this snow. Because there are huge piles everywhere it is going to take an extremely long time for it to all melt. Ah well....at least the sun is finally shining again. The roads are much better now, but man, there is just so much snow!

I do have to give another shout out to the workers at our apartment complex. They have done an excellent job cleaning up our streets and moving snow out of the empty parking spots and into a huge mound where the car wash area used to be. I just feel bad because the bobcats they were using had no glass to protect them from the cold! I hope they are all ok! I am just grateful that they are so diligent at their job! THANK YOU!

Well, hopefully the next picture of outside will have a little less snow. Reed, however, loves going out in the snow daily. He loves sticking his fingers in it, making a little ball, and then throwing it on the ground so I can stomp on it. Then, he giggles the cutest giggle ever. Ah, the little pleasures in life!

Here are the pictures taken on February 3, 2010 and February 6, 2010. Enjoy! Don't get too cold looking at them :)

February 3, 2010

Look at the beautiful snow on the trees

The beginning of February 6, 2010

Still snowing.....


The picnic table behind our apartment.

He doesn't know what to think this time.

Reed was actually a little unsure this time because the snow was almost as tall as him in places where the snow had been shoveled from the sidewalk to the grass.

Look how the trees are sagging!

The street we have to get on to leave our apartment...yeah, no one drove for a while!

My car

When the snow finally stopped, behind our apartment looked like this!

Behind our apartment...it still looks almost the same today (except it is sunny today)

I still can't believe that is a picnic table!

Seriously.....so much snow!
