Snowpocalypse!



Reporting live from the Snowpocalypse -- check out the snow drifts outside my front door! And remember, I live in D.C., not Cleveland or Syracuse.

It's still snowing out there, and has been for about 24 hours. We've gotten close to 2 feet by now.

Since this is the first winter I've really been conscious of, it may be setting unrealistic expectations...First there was the big storm right before Christmas -- here's a few shots of that one:


This is Evan, Costello, Zula and Lane right before we hit the sledding hill.



Here I am surveying the terrain.


That same storm provided some great snow for sledding in Pennsylvania, where we spent Christmas.

Then we've had some beautiful smaller storms, like this one last week:



This is the park near my house -- looks like some idyllic country lane, doesn't it?


The tree in my back yard...


That's the back of my house. All this snow hadn't even melted yet when the Blizzard of '10 hit yesterday...



Wow! I got a little cold, but Daddy and Zula are still out there building snow tunnels.

By the way, Grandma reminded me yesterday that it's been since Halloween since I posted anything, so here's a few pics from the holidays. (Sorry for the delay -- I'm a busy boy now that I've started preschool!)


Here's a shot from Hanukah.



Here's me on a hike in PA over Christmas. We had a great time with Meme, Grandaddy, Bridget, John, Oliver and Lucas.


One of Zula's favorite presents was this gingerbread house that she and Mommy put together.










Do you think she'll notice if I eat a little?


We had a lot of fun in Amish Country at the train museum and on a buggy ride!


The Amish farmer showed us what his cows eat (don't worry, he said it was okay to take a picture.)



Okay, full disclosure, I did sleep through some of the buggy ride.



Here's a recent Shabbat dinner at our house. Zula suggested we take these pictures to show Noah that we used the candles he made us -- thanks, Noah!


Happy Snowpocalypse, everybody -- stay warm and enjoy!
