I totally agree...snow is a blessing. I'm a first year teacher & a "first yearer" in D.C.. I've been praying for snow just to have a much needed rest. Little did I know how much my cup would overflow. :) Ha Ha.... I hope there are many snow babies! Enjoy round two! Father,

Here in Maine the only snow left is from the piles left by the plow. Over 40 years ago when we had a major power outage in the Northeast we DID have an increase in births..PRAISE GOD!!!

Charles Pope Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:58:09 +0000 http://blog.adw.org/?p=5538#comment-5667 A bit of an exaggeration. We've had only about 45 inches. Our snowiest was back in 1999 I think at 54 inches. However, I am sad to hear of your snow drought and know it causes great problems. Here in the east water is abundant and we seldom think of droughts most years. Our usual rainful here in DC is over 40 inches of rain per year. May God grant abundance to Rockies! A bit of an exaggeration. We’ve had only about 45 inches.

Normally, it would be the other way around. The lack of snow this winter means that next summer we will be running short of water, since summer water comes from the previous winter's snowpack in the mountains. The last significant snow we had was back in 2009, about a week before Christmas. Enjoy the snow and family togetherness while it lasts!

So I knew about the blizzard in Washington, but just learned here that it went that far north. Knowing my son, though, he'll get to work today. How? Thanks for the reference to Matthew for the answer. Great hearing about you down there. Up here, (Canada) we've had a dry winter. Fortunately I'm old enough the city clears the walkway for me. Ah! the advantages of retirement! My son lives in Baltimore and commutes to Washington for work. So I knew about the blizzard in Washington, but just learned here that it went that far north.

She claimed that being taller trumped having snow-pants. I had considered taking the dog (yellow lab) along, but she doesn't understand the concept of walking in a straight line, and had we followed her we would've ended up walking twice as far!

At the moment I'm feeling no ill effect...however we still have to clean off our cars, and finish clearing off the driveway.
