Talked to our godchildrens mom in Roanoke. Said they sent the kids home
early. 3" of snow, and a foot forecast. About 64 here today.


We have a little over 3 inches, now, and its snowing like crazy.....

We got bombed today. I'd guess we got about 20". I'd shovel a path
only to find four inches in it a couple hours later. We had a
Christmas party for folks in the neighborhood, and some who weren't.
The ones who had a drive didn't make it.

We got 12-14", but it got beat down by sleet and a bit of freezing
rain.... shoveling was a goat-rope, but I finally got the 100' odd
feet done. I think we'll get out tomorrow....

I feel sorry for our friend out in the sticks in Maryland. The one
with the quarter-mile driveway. That has to be a bear to shovel.

The snow plows didn't make it through our streets last night or today.
Looks like we ended up with about 22". We promised our daughter we'd
come and watch the kids while she wraps Christmas presents, so we'll
see what it looks like away from the beltway.

Have a Super Christmas and a Spectacular New Year!
