It has been "frigidly cold" for the past week or so with "real feel" high temperatures in the teens to mid-twenties. We brought out the heavy coats, scarves, thermal gloves and wool sox last week. We wear a coat and gloves to get the mail... just 22 steps (yes, I counted!) from our door. So we were not surprised when snow was forecasted for the end of the week.
A light snow started falling at 11:00 am and continued until about 5:00 pm this afternoon. As I sat in the warmth of our apartment watching the snow fall through the window, several thoughts came to mind. I was awed by this beautiful fluffy stuff that looks so light and airy yet creates major havoc on the roadways. I wondered where the thousands of homeless people in the DC metro area were spending the storm. I marveled at the peaceful tranquility of the snowscape.
Columbia, Maryland received a little over an inch of snow today and is expecting another, potentially bigger snow storm on Sunday. I guess it is time to get winter supplies for our cars and apartment...
Pretty snow! :D
ReplyDeleteI think you should share the response you got from the Weather Channel guy about flurries vs. "snow showers." tehehehe
ReplyDeleteThat was actually why I emailed him- for this post- but he was too slow getting his "technical" response back to me!
ReplyDeleteSo make an "addendum" or "amendment" - if Congress can put on an amendment at the 11th hour, you certainly can do it 5 days later. LOL.
