Blizzard Today

We are in a blizzard as I write this post. At times the visibility is zero. My daughter had a friend over for last night, now she will be with us for a few more. The snow drifts are expected to reach 5 foot. The winds are peaking at about 50 mph. I did get to shovel some this morning, moved about 6 inches of snow off the sidewalk and porch steps. Now of course it is all back. Our car, which was completely uncovered from snow yesterday is buried again today. This is the Second Blizzard in one week! Eventhough we had snow in Upstate New York as I grew up, I never remember having two blizzards back to back. I heard on the news they are combining the two blizzard as one storm,so we can get federal aid. Maryland is just not equipped for this kind of winter weather. We have received over 72 inches of snow since the start of winter and most of it this month!
School is out and who know when it will be back in. The kids want to play outside however the temps with chill factor is 9 degrees, so they can not. How is the weather where you live?

  1. Hope everyone is safe and warm in the house. Since Singapore is always hot and humid, the weather has been hot almost everyday.

  4. Five foot drifts? Yikes! In eastern PA, we got 18" from the second storm (only 6 from the first). I'm happy enough with that. I wanted a big storm because it's fun at first, but not so big that it shuts everything down and we break our backs shoveling. Do you have a snow blower? Hope so :)
