Well, here we are after another record breaking snowstorm! I can't believe we had TWO in the SAME season this year! After last December's record of 16", this February storm decided it could do one better, and the official count at Reagan National airport is 17.4". WOW. I think we wound up with a few more inches over here on the other side of the river. It was a constant pour from Friday through Saturday afternoon... I took a photo of our street outside my door:



We stayed snuggled inside... I have been on sick leave this whole week taking care of Ben, and then taking care of myself after I caught his cold. Joe even got to come home early on Friday before the snow really started coming down, and we've all been trapped inside since. Ben and I are starting to feel better, but poor Joe just woke up this morning with a full blown cold, so he can't even enjoy the snow day today, now that it's completely stopped. Today is supposed to be nice and sunny... perfect for playing in the snow. I might try and brave putting on Ben's snow pants and dragging him out there for a bit on my own ;)

But Lily and I were out early, and I took my camera to catch some early morning shots. We are EXTREMELY lucky that we live in a co-op that hires snow removal crews... so our walk and back parking lot are already shoveled. It doesn't bode well for my poor car however, which is barely visible underneath all the piles. It should be an interesting next few days while we wait to see how it impacts the city, and fingers crossed for a snow day tomorrow! We could all use one more day to get better! :)

Here are the photos I snapped this morning:





















My poor Focus is under there somewhere:
