The blizzard of ’09

The blizzard of ’09

On Friday night, we had nearly a foot of snow, and then on Saturday it just kept snowing, with wind and whiteout conditions creating a true blizzard, and when it was over we had another foot. I don’t remember getting this much snow in such a short time even when we lived in Wisconsin. It set records for the D.C. area. Here is our car, with my pickup in the background:

We had stocked up with provisions and had nowhere to go. With snow above the bumpers and a 60 foot driveway, it was a good thing. Church was even cancelled, but we all did an online matins, which worked quite well. I pity those who were out in this. But we weren’t. Sunday it wasn’t quite so pleasant, since that was a day for digging out, but my son-in-law took on that task and saved me from multiple heart attacks. Anyway, we enjoyed a very, very peaceful weekend.
