Snow Day!

Welcome Mat in Snow Relief

Today's entry is sort of a continuation on the previous day's monochromatic take on winter. It snowed here yesterday morning and afternoon, followed by sleet last night. For most of you, that's hardly news. Around here, it's all the news and then some. It doesn't take much--we only had four inches in the city--but snow cripples the D.C. area. Everything just sort of shuts down for a few days and gets kind of quiet. The snow and ice is a pain, but the quiet part is nice.

Where the Eave Ends

Here are just a couple of shots of the snow from the warmth of my house. If the roads aren't too bad later today, I'll try to get out to take some pictures of D.C.'s more iconic images in the snow. But don't hold your breath. My car needs new tires, so I may just be staying put!

Rainy Reflections

Rainy reflection on my Honda CR-V

It rained quite a bit last weekend. These are just a couple of pictures I took after the deluge.

The houses across the street in the window of my SUV

The nice thing when it rains is, the kids across the street stay in and out of trouble! Ah, the beauty of urban living...
