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…

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 →

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 →

Because it looks like y’all are about to get your butts handed to you by Mother Nature. Right now we’ve just got rain that should be changing over to snow shortly, probably topping out at about 3 inches.  Which is nothing … Continue reading →

Posted on January 6, 2015 by

So, the consensus seems to be that we’re going to get some weather starting Wednesday night and it will continue into Thursday.  Depending on the model one is looking at, we could be looking at 3″of snow, or 20″.  Either … Continue reading →

So, it’s been a little cold…

Posted on January 30, 2014 by

 The polar vortex/arctic blast/whatever you want to call it has had our area in a bit of a chill over the past week, along with a good chunk of the rest of the country.  It’s not the end of the … Continue reading →

Ugh, this weather.

Posted on January 14, 2014 by

Honestly, I don’t know how people who live any farther north manage to actually function during winter. This was the scene outside most of the day.  Grey, nasty, icky, wet and generally disgusting.  This type of weather is not conducive … Continue reading →
