Tropical Storm Hanna

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 or twice, but we never lost it completely. It did rain a lot though.

Not Much Snow

The snow didn’t amount to much more than a dusting. Things did clear up for the lunar eclipse though, which was nice.

Snow!

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.

Sledding

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 and I had a great time watching them. By the end, Mira was doing everything solo, I wasn’t even holding the sled for her while she got in.

Snow!

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, so I wasn’t as active as I might have been in the playing, but we still had a good time. We’re up to about 3 1/2 inches so far.

First Snow of the Season

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 catching snow flakes on her tongue that we let her out for 2 minutes to do that. Kate and Xander stayed out a bit longer and did some shoveling and played a little longer once Mira and I came back in.

Rain at last!

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.
