Pics from the Snonami - the "blizzard" of 2009
I don't know if this truly qualified as a blizzard, but that's what "they're" calling it.

We got about eighteen inches.

These pics taken at my house in Southern Maryland.

Mrs. V. was properly attired for the weather



I was not



The beehives on the deck, well before the snow stopped



This morning, after some wind overnight - how the snow on the deck moved around



Some trees







A job half done



Finally, an awesome photo by Mrs. V., who has a great eye for beauty

1. I'd say grilling season is officially over,
isn't it? ;)

Awesome pictures; that's a lot of snow there. We just got the ground covered, but the icy temperatures make up for the rest. :hug:

19. Grilling season is never over!
Yesterday morning our grill was covered with drifted snow. Yesterday evening it cooked some very nice NY strip steaks.

Nom, nom, nom......

4. Beautiful, Bertha. It looks like that around here, too.
(Philadelphia, we're alleged to have gotten 23 inches.) I particularly love those scallops on your deck rail.

13. Mrs. V. noticed those.
A phenomenon I'd never seen before. But then, so is this snow. :)

Did you hear that Mike Scioscia is on a panel to "fix" what's wrong with baseball? Look up Tom Boswell's column in the Washington Post (don't remember what day, it was last week).
