As the newscasters talked about the possibility of snow this weekend, it was hard to believe that they were not exaggerating a bit. "Severe winter storm warning" was their favorite catch phrase. Mind you, these are the same newscasters that make a light rain shower something akin to a torrential downpour, so DJ and the Boys were a bit skeptical. We also had our location in central Virginia on our side. Snow in Virginia in March is rare, and accumulations of any significance even more rare. Imagine our disappointment when the snow began to accumulate, not only on the grassy areas, but also on the roads. Hmm, looks like we will get an inch or two after all we said about 8 p.m. on Sunday. Then the power started to flicker as we looked at the 3-4 inches around 10 p.m. Now, we are staring out the window to see about 8 inches of the heavy white stuff on the deck. Wow! Are we in Virginia? It suddenly feels like Pennsylvania. We are not going to get above freezing today, or tomorrow. What is this?? Virginia snow only stays a few hours when it does land and accumulate.
No snow plows have made their way to our little cul de sac. And a tree has fallen across the street at the neighbor's house. I suppose we will be here for the day and possibly tomorrow. I should have run out for some eggs, bread and milk. Luckily the boys have plenty of food and snacks for the next week. I have always been curious about how those biscuits taste, if I run out of food, this may be the time to find out.
The newscasters are predicting temperatures in the 60s by Thursday and all through the weekend. Now that's more like the south. Til then, maybe we can build a couple dozen snowmen.
