It's been insane around here. Even before the first snowflake hit the ground, Virginia had declared a state of emergency. Schools were closed. Flights were canceled. Grocery stores emptied. Poor Patrick was never more frustrated in his life at Wegmans. It was like everyone had gone insane, and purchased enough toilet paper and bread for weeks. I was a bit of skeptic myself with the forecasts, refusing to believe the hype about the "Snowpocalypse", but I have to admit -- there is a lot of snow out there.
About 30 inches in our backyard. Although our streets are plowed, the rest of the area is suspended. There were major power outages last night. Churches were closed today. Metro was suspended for all above ground trains. Schools have closed again until Tuesday. Government offices closed.I've never seen a city so paralyzed!
Well, The Rings refused to be paralyzed. We were moving!

Ruth, our wonderful neighbor below, loaned us a sled!
...and Caelan cried for half a block when we took him off it....yikes...
He was comforted though.
It was a treat to have grandma
snowed in with us for the long weekend.
And then Micah and Daddy were
climbing up snow covered mountains.
...And reached the summit!
They are calling for more snow on Tuesday - six more inches.When will this end? Just days ago, it had
snowed 2-3 inches, and our next door neighbor,
Nancy, made the boys a wonderful snowman.
Thank you Nancy!
Looks like more fun for the boys for the next week or so.Until then, Daddy and Caelan are headed in
for the fireplace and some warm milk!
