Snow Day

This storm was not as bad as last year but it did allow me to have a free day off from work. It could have been much worse for us. Last night there were over 100,000 homes without power in the DC area and 50,000 in the Baltimore area because the snow was so wet and heavy. There were many trees that fell onto power lines. Also, tonight on the news the newscaster said he left the station last night at 6pm and didn't get home until 3am! Many of the cars couldn't make it up hills, several tractor trailers jack-knifed and many people simply abandoned their vehicles and walked home. Thankfully we were all home, safe and sound.

Here are a few pictures:



our back deck




Izzy searching for a bathroom spot - notice the broken tree in the background


Charlie in the snow



We didn't stay outside long - she got cold fast




She loved hanging out in the bed of Adam's truck



Playing with play-doh after getting warmed up


I think playing outside wore her out because she took a 3 hour nap this afternoon!
