Dear Mother Nature…

Posted on May 11, 2016 by

Just stop it already.  Stop it.  Two weeks of grey and rain and disgusting bullshit weather is more than enough. Yeah, I know I said that taking night hours would mean I wouldn’t be cooped up in an office when … Continue reading →

It Finally Stopped.

Posted on January 24, 2016 by

Around 11:30 last night, the snow finally stopped.  All in all, I’d say we got in the neighborhood of 30 inches. Between my brother and myself, we were out there 13 times over the course of 35 hours.  Thank god … Continue reading →

Oh please, make it stop.

Posted on January 23, 2016 by

We’ve gotten at least 2 feet of snow.  It started yesterday around 12:45.  It hasn’t stopped since.  IT WON’T STOP SNOWING. This is what the dog sees when he goes outside: And that was a few hours ago.  It’s at … Continue reading →

And now, we wait…

Posted on January 21, 2016 by

And hope that the storm takes a hard turn south.  (Sorry Richmond.)  We’ve gone from talking about “maybe a blizzard” to blizzard watch to blizzard warning.  They’re currently saying 33 hours of continuous snow starting around 5 tomorrow.  Oh joy. We have … Continue reading →

An inch of snow and a mess…

Posted on January 21, 2016 by

Seems VDOT didn’t  pretreat the roads today.  (VDOT says it is because the treatment would freeze.  Others say it wasn’t cold enough for that to happen.) So, traffic was just enough to melt the snow, but not to keep it … Continue reading →

We really can’t function with snow here…

Posted on January 20, 2016 by

We’re getting some snow tonight – a warmup for the weekend I guess.  Not expecting more than an inch.  There might be a half inch out there now.  Got this from the county police: 28 crashes. Oh wait, an update! Make … Continue reading →

This is how I know I am an adult…

Posted on January 20, 2016 by

The word “blizzard” does not fill me with the slightest bit of joy.  As of this morning, the National Weather Service issued a Blizzard Watch for my area for the weekend. I don’t hate snow – when it’s in reasonable amounts. … Continue reading →

I’ve always wanted to have open windows in December

Posted on December 15, 2015 by

I just didn’t think I would still be living in the DC suburbs when it happened.   It’s 1:47 AM on December 15th and it is 63º outside. Sure, every couple of years we have a little warm spell at the beginning … Continue reading →

Happy Snow Day!

Posted on February 17, 2015 by

And Happy Fat Tuesday as well!  (I didn’t realize this until this morning when I started seeing Carnival pictures all over the place – I thought it was later this year.)  So, go have a pancake. We got around 5″ of snow, … Continue reading →

Hurrah for kind neighbors with snowblowers!

Posted on January 27, 2015 by

We only ended up getting a couple inches of snow – not too hard to shovel, but lets face it, shoveling snow absolutely sucks.  Now, I was up way too late last night, because I had to keep looking at the snow, … Continue reading →
