Frosted Trees

Last year's snowy winter forced Myney and me to shovel our long sidewalk three times in 2 weeks. The memory of those three storms caused Myney to decide that her Christmas gift to Orlando and me would be a snowblower. We were happy to have it and eager to get to use it when a snow storm arrived the day after Christmas.

Sadly, that storm materialized only for areas north and east of DC and since then, we've had a relatively mild winter. That is until today, when a strong winter storm settled in over the region. It started as snow, then changed to rain, followed by sleet and ultimately heavy wet snow. The trees now look like they were dipped in frosting.



Snow is supposed to continue for another several hours. Anastasia's school and my work have already announce that they will open 2 hours late in the morning. And Orlando, who's home from work tomorrow, is looking forward to the inaugural snow blowing of our sidewalk.



Anastasia is just excited at the prospect of getting to use the sled she got for Christmas.
