We weren't even done talking about Snowmageddon, when his angry little sidekick showed up today. As promised, we got zapped with another winter storm. While the estimates of 7-14 inches of accumulation where on the high side, the storm was definitely a doozy. For hours, we had real blizzard conditions - with heavy snow and high winds mixing together to keep even the plows off the roads.
When the storm was finished, there wasn't a whole lot more snow to deal with (we shoveled what seemed like 8 fresh inches of snow from the drive way) - but the winds certainly did a number on the existing snow drifts. Walking through the neighborhood, it almost felt like a classic desert scene, as the snow drifts had a beautifully chiseled look to them.
All area schools are shut down, along with the Federal Government - that makes 4 straight days in a row. If you like snow days, this was definitely your perfect week.
Here are a couple photos - they definitely don't do the scene justice. The first one tries to capture the scene outside our house during the blizzard - trust me, it was a sight to see.
