It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas . . .

Up at 5:30am (it seems that if I'm going to get extra sleep, it has to be on the front end of the night. I can't seem to sleep much past 5:30-6:00, like, ever). Looked out the window. Everything is covered in snow! It's beautiful! PIctures later today, hopefully.

They've been predicting a HUGE snow (like, upwards of 18 inches), and it looks like they got it right. Traffic was terrible yesterday with everyone frantic to prepare for the Big One. I admit, as an Ohioan, it rather amused me (when I wasn't sitting in standstill traffic on my way to a sudden doctor's appointment). As an Ohioan, I also have to admit that this would be a Level 3 snow warning back home. Yesterday was Geo's and my regular shopping day, and I'm glad we went ahead and got it done.

Looks like today is going to be a day inside, admiring the snow, watching Christmas movies, and getting some last minute cards done. (Though with the roads the way they are, I don't know if the mail will be going or not.)

ETA: 6:30, and it's still dark outside, the snow clouds are so thick. Also? If we were back in Ohio, we would have heard a snowplow go by by now. No such goings-on in Culpeper. I think maybe they only have one snowplow for the entire county.

Here in Ohio we just have about an inch of snow right now and I'm about to head out to the grocery. Not only have I seen county snowplows heading out to I-75 already, but there is a truck with a plow clearing and salting the lot in front of my house. Anyone with a pickup and a plow-blade in front is going to be making some extra money this weekend

Love the icon!

I find it highly amusing that we've gotten so much snow when Ohio has only gotten a dusting. Hee!

Everything has shut down. We certainly won't be going anywhere today.

We are still just getting flurries, without much accumulating yet. It's only 30F out, so thankfully I don't really have to bundle up like my icon yet, but I'm sure I will eventually--warm yet with high visibility (I made the scarf just for that reason)
