Things about my life.
It wasn’t all that bad here. We got 5 to 6 inches of rain. The wind got pretty strong, but nothing all that bad. We didn’t end up finding a leak in the roof that we though was fixed years ago. Guess we’ll have to try and get it fixed again. The power flickered once [...]
The snow didn’t amount to much more than a dusting. Things did clear up for the lunar eclipse though, which was nice.
It’s snowing outside the window here at work. We’ve not had nearly as much snow as I’d like this year. Hopefully we’ll get at least an inch or two out of this system.
We went out for our second round of shoveling around 4pm. The snow has mostly turned over into sleet now. After we were done with the shoveling, the kids both decided to sled this time. They both had a great time. Mira got braver and braver as she tried it and watched her brother. Kate [...]
It started snowing around 9:30am and hasn’t let up much. It’s coming down pretty hard at the moment. I’m just back inside from shoveling and watching the kids play in the snow. Xander had fun sledding and Mira had fun helping us build a snow man. I’ve been fighting a migraine the last few days, [...]
We are getting our first snow of the season today. We kept the kids home from school even though Loudoun hasn’t canceled it yet, for some reason. We’ve been out and played for a few minutes, but Mira and I are sick, so it was a very quick thing. Mira was just so excited about [...]
We’ve finally gotten some rain the last couple of days. It has been dry here. We are on mandatory water restrictions and such. We’ve had a nice soaking rain the last couple of days. It doesn’t fix things, but it sure helps. We just need it to do this off and on for a while.
We got about 3″ of snow out of the storm last night. We went out this morning and got in some bonus sledding, which was a lot of fun. Then we took a little walk around the neighborhood to just enjoy the extra snow. We sure didn’t expect to have another snow in March, but [...]
I should mention that is was 80° and beautiful on Wednesday. Today it’s 32° and snowing. We are expecting between 2″ and 8″ overnight.
Just got back inside from another hour out in the snow. They snow has stopped falling, and we’ve got the driveway all cleaned off. Looks like we got about 5″ of snow total. The sledding was still great! The snow packed down very nicely to make some little trails that were pretty fast runs. We [...]
We are having some of the best snow we’ve ever had right now. It’s light and fluffy stuff that makes great snowballs and snowmen. It’s also slick enough that it is good for sledding as well. Kate, the kids, and I had a great time this morning playing and shoveling and making snowmen and sledding [...]
We made it out of the house. Got the car past the ice and even got it back in the driveway when we made it back home.
Overnight Tuesday night was an ice storm like I’ve never seen. We got a couple of inches of ice on top of the snow that had already fallen. It’s been a mess. Kate and I went out and shoveled some of it Wednesday, but it was so cold and windy that we decided to put [...]
So the big storm didn’t hit overnight like they expected, so the kids were off to school this morning with it snowing outside. Kate and I went together and dropped them off. Then we headed to Target to look for a copy of Wiiplay because it comes with an extra Wii controller, which is very [...]
No school today! I’ll be working from home, of course. Looks like we got about 2″ of snow outside. I’ll measure it when we get all bundled up later this morning to play in it. Kids are home and excited.
