The First BIG Storm of the Season - for DC

It snowed last night into this morning. We got about 10 inches of very powdery snow. It's not the best snow for building snowmen or making snowballs, but it is easy to shovel!  One of the local stations names the big snow storms. This year they are being named after famous scientists. So without further ado, the photos of the snow from Winter Storm Albert:

So that's it for Albert. Next up is Barbara which will be named for Barbara McClintock who won a Nobel Prize in 1983 for her work in the field of genetics.

Qwill's Qwestion: Did you get snow from Albert? or What is your weather like?

  2. We got some snow here in Indiana, not nearly what you did but more than enough, thank you very much. I think it's from the same system but the tail end that wasn't as powerful. Personally, I'm ready to move South!

  4. Qwill,

    This makes me SOOO happy I live in FL where there is no snow! It's beautiful though. Do you guys make snow-cream? I remember making that when I was a kid and it snowed.

  8. Just gorgeous, Qwill! I hope the kids are enjoying the snow as well. And um, erm, well... if I'd gotten snow from Albert, that'd have to have been one heck of a storm! LOL
