So here we are. Sunday night and the temperatures are down in the single digits. It likely due to the HUGE amount of snow cover out there. For those of you who may not have heard, we got a little snow over the weekend. It started on Friday afternoon and started to pile up all through Saturday. By the time it was all done there was about 24" of the white stuff on the front lawn.
I spent most of today digging out the cars from the driveway and shoveling the walk. Based on the amounts, I did not shovel off the deck or the side walk. Plus it would seem there is more snow on the way (see the prognosticators at Capital Weather Gang for more info) for Tuesday into Wednesday.
For the record, I could have gone to work tomorrow if the situation presented itself. But the Federal Government has announced that it will be closed tomorrow. This gives us another snow day (after the Snowpocalypse on December 19) for Snowmageddon in this winter of snowy weather. Remember my mother always used to say that the first time snow sticks on the street is how many storms you will have. The December storm was the first time. By my count, this storm was #4, with more this week and possibly (hey, don't kill the messenger) again next weekend.
In other news, they played the Super Bowl tonight. The ads were okay, but for once, I really enjoyed the game. Congratulations to the Saints! I am sure the French Quarter is rocking tonight.
So to all my DC federal friends, enjoy the snow day tomorrow. Let's see what the rest of the week brings.

OMG...the Saints won...thankfully! I thought the NFC championship game was going to give Charles a heart attack. He was surprisingly calm during the Super Bowl, although there was some laughing, high-fiving & pacing in the 4th quarter. ;)
Enjoy your snowcation as best you can. May you build a snow fort with the kids. ;)
Lana - we finally got around to making the fort. Did you get a chance to make one little snow ball with the flakes you had?
