Snowpocalypse '10

I think one of my favorite things about these big storms are the cute nick-names we come up with for them.

But this is making my hair whiter than usual.


On Monday, we went and dug out the sidewalks at our church building. When Sam heard there was going to be a snowball fight, he insisted that he come along. You can see behind him how high the snow is, up nearly to his waist.

We are on day 6 of the worst series of snowstorms Maryland has seen in over a century. We've dug out twice so far, and will be digging out again tomorrow morning.

Stewart had a major computer malfunction today. His computer floundered somewhere in the installation of a Windows Security update, and then gave him BSODs for every restart option we tried. We ended up repairing the Windows installation. Frustrating when I had planned on him spending the day applying for college scholarships.



Today, we've had about another foot of snow. Can you see the mounds from our snowforts? At the heaviest snowfall, you could no longer see the church across the street. This picture is from this morning. Now, you can barely see the mailboxes anymore.

Our icicles are forming crooked. I think it's because these are right over where our dryer vents, so the hot air keeps the water from freezing too fast, and the wind is blowing it around.
