We made it through the night and we still have electricity! We feel very fortunate. There are still a lot of people in the area still without power. They are calling the aftermath "Snow Over It!". We blew all the previous records out of the water - or should I say - snow? DCA is reporting a total seasonal snowfall of 54.9 inches - this includes the storm we had in December too.
It is still REALLY windy out there right now. The sidewalks are not completely clear so we are waiting for the wind to die down and for the sidewalks to be cleared before we go down and deal with digging out the care - FOR THE THIRD TIME!
There is a lot of black ice on the freeways and the traffic report if full of people who skid out and are stuck in snow banks on the sides of the roads. Also, they are reporting up to 50 people still stuck out on the roads who apparently spent the night in their cars. Why in the world anyone tried to drive last night is beyond me. They are advising people to stay off the roads today - but a lot of places are open - including Jason's office! He is working from home again today.
I can't imagine we will have to go in to school tomorrow - but if the school is open, I'm going to work from home. The streets around us were not completely plowed on Wednesday morning - I doubt they are any better now.
I took a picture of the tennis court this morning to show how high the snow is. I'll take more pictures when we go dig out the car later.
