It is a clear sunny day and I am still Blackberry blogging. We don’t have a yard stick, but I would guess we have the same amount of snow as Reagan National airport – 18 inches.
I know that doesn’t sound like a lot, but this was actually the fourth largest storm recorded in DC, and the area is ill-prepared for any amount of snow. Even though we’ve cleared our walkway and access road, we haven’t seen a plow on the main road. If we’re lucky we might be able to leave the house by Tuesday.
We took Eva outside to play in the snow this morning which, as usual, involved putting her in the backpack and standing around watching Matt shovel. We stayed outside for ten minutes – the same amount of time it took us to get into our snow clothes.
Here are some pictures from our morning outing:
Babies in snowsuits are slippery, so we always go out in the hiking backpack.
I would like to have taken a walk, but this ice slick was my only option.
Matt’s car. All we need is for a plow to come through and it will be buried forever.
Matt is standing next to our four foot tall azalia.
Babies in snowsuits cant quite sit up straight.
Eva concedes snowsuits are good for one thing – playtime.
Oh my how funny and frustrating that you can stay outside for the same amount of time it took you to get into your snow clothes.
I agree with Eva that the best use for a snowsuit it to play with it in the very very warm indoors.
Love,
Chrissie
