There is snow place like home

Earlier today, the blizzard in DC created a complete white-out. Between the falling snow and the 45 mph wind gusts, it was definitely the day to stay inside and stay warm. This afternoon, when the winds died down a little bit, I ventured outside to shovel the sidewalks. The wind has been creating huge snow drifts, but it looks like it will be fairly manageable to dig out on Thursday. Unfortunately, most of the snow removal equipment has been sidelined due to the white-out conditions, so it is unclear how well the main streets will be plowed tomorrow.



I will be happy to have a break from the snow. The muscles in my back have been getting increasingly sore, especially since as the piles of snow get higher, I have to lift the snow more.
