Still snowing

I just looked outside and the snow is really coming down. Almost white-out effects. It is beginning to accumulate on the ground as well. I checked the forecast again and now they are saying 1-3 inches of snow. Great! I love snow, but my main concern is being able to get home from the Metro [...]

Overwhelmed!

Busy, busy, busy! It’s been busy at work the last few days with no immediate end in sight, although my meeting schedule is a bit more forgiving tomorrow, with only 3 hours of meetings, and then, finally! a long weekend! I was beat when I headed home last night, and when I turned into my [...]

The ice storm

We are having what is called an “ice storm” here today. In the 4-1/2 years that I have been in the DC area, this is my first ice storm. It was cool today but not cold. Temps were in the 20s and it drizzled throughout the day. Then about halfway through the day it started [...]

Last night, today

Yesterday was a busy day at work and I barely had time to update the blog let alone finish all I had on my plate in the office. In fact, I didn’t even leave the office until 6 PM, which is unheard of for me these day. (But there are other people who have it [...]

Winter

With about an inch of snow on the ground, it finally feels like winter here in DC. Wearing my new clothes helps this feeling along because wearing new clothes always reminds me of going back to school. In high school and college, I usually came back to school from break with a bunch of new [...]

It’s snowing!

I just looked up from my computer screen and out my front window and noticed that it is snowing. It’s snowing lightly, but it is definitely snowing, the first snow of the season. It is, in fact, the first snow we’ve had in over 11 months. Nothing is sticking at this point, although the weather [...]

Snow is over

It looks like I’ve got 6-8 inches of snow. I haven’t been outside yet so I really can’t tell, but it’s certainly the largest snowfall we’ve gotten here all year. It’s a good thing I don’t have to go anywhere today. I will have to head out and shovel a bit but I am going [...]

Snow has started

The snow that has threatened has finally started–but does not appear to be sticking yet. In part I think it’s because it’s not cold enough yet. I went outside to move the car to the end of the driveway (so that I have less to shovel) and it didn’t feel all that cold out. But [...]

Oh what a night

No snow so far. At least, none that has stuck to the ground. The weather reports are still calling for heavy snow warnings, with threat of up to a foot of snow over the next 24 hours. I’m still somewhat skeptical. I think we’ll probably get snow, but I’ll be surprised if it turned out [...]

“Heavy snow” coming

I just checked the weather for the weekend to discover that snow is expected. “Heavy” snow according to the reports. 4-8 inches in most areas with up to 10 inches in some areas by tomorrow night. Now, these things are usually exagerated. On the other hand, President’s Day (which is a week from Monday) is [...]

Second day in Albany

My second full day in Albany was strikingly different from the first–mainly because it snowed overnight and the temperatures plummeted. Where it felt almost muggy out on Saturday, there was a cutting wind and several inches of snow (and ice) on Sunday. With the windchill, the temperature never broke -5 degrees. But we didn’t let [...]

First full day in Albany

I was up at about 8 AM, showered and then spent the early part of the morning reading Foundation and Chaos. It was unusually mild out early today. I went with Eric to take Cali out for a walk after breakfast this morning and it felt almost humid. I skimmed through the local paper during [...]
