Thinking warm thoughts

It's coming. This past weekend, the mid-Atlantic states were hit with record snowfalls. As we tuned into the Internet weather services, they were predicting snowfalls in feet rather than inches. That's scary, especially when Virginia, Delaware and the District of Columbia all seem to share one plow.

But tomorrow, it's supposed to be our turn for a big Nor'easter. Along with the wind and cold, snow accumulation guesses range from six to 20 inches, depending on where you are in the state. We are thinking warm thoughts as we hunker down with plenty of firewood, a roast chicken in the oven while there is still electricity, and a lot of extra water. I called the snowplow guy and told him not to even show up until it's over as we aren't planning to get out tomorrow. Schools and businesses are already closed in anticipation of the "big one."

It's great news for us as we have been waiting for the "big-one" all winter so we can update our snow images. Which reminds me, I have to put out the snow props.
