Virginia is being pounded by a huge snow storm. It's been declared a state of emergency. We have not seen this kind of snow since 1983. That means all three of my kids have never seen this much snow. I stopped at the grocery store last night along with everyone else on the East Coast and they were out of EVERYTHING. No potatoes....what is that all about?
We had some huge tree branches removed yesterday because as you can see they were very close to where we park and knew they would come down during the heavy snow.
Our driveway is probably 75 yards long....and all we have is one little shovel. Should be fun.
The dogs on the other hand are WORSE than little kids...begging at the door to get out there AGAIN!
Just keep your fingers crossed that the plows come through and I can get to work on Monday! (not that I WANT to go...but pretty much HAVE to!)
Have a great holiday.

You are a most fortunate and lucky person of the world whose dream is fulfilled so early.Every thing is simply covered with milky white layer all around.It is so frosting and chilled weather.

I'm here in Montclair & we estimate that we got about 20 inches. Things have been cleared out nicely though. And, it sure is pretty!
I remember the storm in the beginning of 1996 in which we got 24-30 inches...was that just in Maryland?

Don't dogs just have a blast in the snow? Mine love it too.

Hopefully the plows clean the streets soon. At least the dogs have a lot of fun :-)! Stay safe and Merry Christmas!

My two dogs are driving me insane. They go out in the yard, act like doggie snowplows, and then beg to come back in after 20 mins of play, get them wiped off, and then they're begging to get back out again!
Stay warm and safe!

I am in Amelia County and we are probably approaching 10-12 inches and much more in drifts. I am all tucked in and doing this and that around the house.
It's definitely a white Christmas!
Hugs,
Kim
