We’re in the midst of a terrible snowstorm over here in Maryland. They said to expect blizzard-like conditions and the weatherman predicted up to thirty inches of snow. People have been talking about this storm all week and before I left my job on Friday evening, my employer sent out an email, stating that our job was closed the following day (Friday) because of the impending storm. They also say that this MAY be one of the biggest storms in DC history! Some people are now without power and our lights have flickered a few times, but we still have electricity! It’s unusual to get so much snow in this part of the country – that’s why it’s so hard for us to deal with. We don’t have the resources to shovel and plow this much snow and still be able to get around. Most businesses are closed, except for hospitals and emergency places. I took a quick pic with my cell phone. Here it is:
My son is excited about the snow. He says it’ll get real high, “Taller than me, Mommy.” I told him he can’t go out and play in it, there’s too much, and we wouldn’t get very far in it, anyway. It’ll be interesting to see what it’ll look like when it’s done.
Yesterday, I baked a chocolate cake since it was so cold and snowy. Hubby loved it. Here’s the recipe I used if you’re interested in making this tasty treat!
Beautiful. I have joined to follow and look forward to getting to know you.
Blessings and prayers,

WOW that’s a lot of snow! Here in southwest PA we were supposed to get 8-12 inches…but we’re already at 12 in and it’s expected to snow all day!!!!
Are you ready for summer yet? 😛

Thanks for following me, Andrea! I did visit your blogs and think they’re wonderful! I loved the pics of the canines! Renee, I guess I’m ready for summer! LOL!! Hubby and I will go out later and try to dig us out of this snow. It’s still coming down hard, but we figured that if we dig out repeatedly today, when the snow stops, it’ll make it easier for us to get out!
I’m so jealous! I live in upstate New York, and that snow aught to be ours :-(.
We have not had a single close-the-roads snow storm this season…not even one no-school day 🙁
*sigh* I love snow! Ya’ll are stealin’ our fun 🙁 We’re not getting a single smidge from this storm.
Stay safe…and let the kids go play, ours are dying too!
Up to my knees!! That snow is up to our knees!! We just returned from digging out our driveway. We couldn’t finish there was so much snow. it was a bit disheartening because as soon as you shovel, snow continues to come down and cover where you’ve just shoveled!
We did make some progress, though, and I’m glad we went out there! The roads look treacherous. even though snow plows have come through, it’s still pretty bad out there, no way can you drive unless you have a very powerful vehicle…you’re gonna get stuck!
Beautiful but glad we don’t have it here in SC, we have had RAIN and more RAIN
