Blizzard 2010!

WOW!!! What a snow storm! Yesterday the snow started around 10am and it hasn't stopped since. It just keeps coming! Virginia is doing the best it can with snow removal, but it looks like we will be snowed in for the whole weekend. Jeff's internship on Friday was cancelled. Stores, schools, churches, businesses, metro, and even the DC monuments are closed. We took some pictures this morning, but the news says that there is still more snow to come. They said that there was "thunder-snow" last night. (Thunder-snow is where there is lightening and thunder along with the snow.) We didn't see any, but thought that would be neat to see!
That's our car! Aliyah has her mouth open trying to catch snowflakes.

Our parking lot. The piles of snow are cars!




Winter Wonderland

It's so beautiful!
Jeff walking out in our backyard to show how deep it is.



The picnic table is almost covered!
After taking the pictures, I turned around and saw Aliyah enjoying a snow snack from the comfort of our apartment! Ha ha! What a cutie!


Our snow angel!

Oh My Goodness! I don't know what I would do with all that snow! I bet you guys haven't seen that much snow in a long time! WOW! I guess it allows you to be able to spend some time together since everything is closed. Aliyah is so darn cute! I bet she is loving all the snow. Stay warm!!!

Wow! I can't believe all that snow. My aunt and uncle live out there and lost power all weekend. Hopefully that didn't happen to you. Enjoy all the time together!

I am sssoooo!!!! jealous. I love the snow and wish I could take my kids out and let them play. But Utah doesn't seem to be the snow state anymore.

ps I wish I could have a little snow treat too! :)

I keep thinking of winter wonderland as I wonder if the snow will ever end. :)
