“In the depths of winter I finally learned there was in me an invincible summer” - Alber Camus

An odd day in Snowpocalis. It started out fairly tame and then devolved into Snowverkill. The view out the window can only be described as "White. Out." The reports on the news were so freaky that by the time the snow machine tapped out, the snowpeople I think were to fried to come out of their dens. We walked out to the local sledding hill - not a soul to be seen. Sledded for two hours in the solitude of a winters day. Quite Narnical.

Sledding Condition Report: Double Premo!


Dogs dont really get the concept of sledding. They think running down the hill is more fun.

The local side road has been plowed by a small county plow. It plowed a cul de sac - a cul de sac which had never been plowed with the last storm. But left the thru roads unplowed. The wreckage of snow is now so intense that the only plow making it through our neighborhood now is one of those small ones on a pick up truck.

We saw a mob of entrepreneurs today making good money shoveling walks and driveways of the weary. First time I have seen folk making money shoveling; when I was a kid we use to run outta the house with shovels looking forward to the money making opportunity (yes, when I was a kid, we also walked 5 miles to school - uphill both ways).

Washington Post reported that there was a surprising number of SUV accidents today. I dont know - given the knuckleheads driving those things, I wasnt surprised.

Final thought: More snow is predicted for Monday.
