The Aftermath

DC has hit record-setting snowfall numbers this winter already with our three blizzards and even though it's been only TWO MONTHS today since I loaded up the car and headed here, I've been here for all three of them.  I find it supremely ironic that my other moving location was going to be Maine--I feel like I actually moved to Maine or Canada, and the Capitol building I see the backdrop everyday is some sort of elaborate joke :)

I sent an email to a few friends today that talked about how I shoveled out my back patio today.   I made it up the stairs, and then was greeted by this at the gate:


Faaaan-tastic.

My patio furniture looks like this:


That's a giant pile of snow on my table and chair beside it.  This isn't how I get OUT of the house, don't worry, this is just the little patio I have outside where I could feasibly sit when the weather isn't doing this.  I can much easier get out the front door, and I was able to today for a bit. 

It's back to regularly scheduled programming folks, and I hope to never blog about snow again...I'll be back to my usual moody/broody ways in no time ;-) 

Either way...it's melting outside, I can hear it.  Nevermind that I can hear it because it's dripping just outside my bedroom and sneaking under the doorframe! 

I can hear it.

I am stuck in snow on the other side of the world (France) trying to get back to CA for my sister's funeral and typing to you while I wait for Lufthansa to change my ticket again. I think we all must think of snow as the great adventure this year. There must be a reason why we are being slowed to a stop.

Love your pictures of everyday things -- your patio snowed in. Hang in there, SJ! x0 N2
