Big Snow

I can't believe it's March already. I missed a whole month of blogging and didn't even realize it. Too busy; and it's only going to get worse, with Spring activities heading our way. We were forced to slow down a bit over this past weekend, though, with our first snowstorm in six years. We've have tiny snowfalls almost every year, but usually nothing over a few inches at any one time. This one dumped about 8 or 10 inches on us, which was pretty good considering that two days before the storm hit, they were calling for zero accumulation and temperatures around or above freezing. We haven't gotten above freezing for the past four days. This was one of those coastal storms that hits us on the Eastern Shore harder than those on the other side of the Bay. Usually, we don't get this much snow. Schools were all closed on Monday and Tuesday, and opened late today. I let the kids have off 'til today, even though I hate taking snow days when our classroom is just a few steps away. Here's what it looked like this weekend.

Here's what it looked like the last time, in 2003, when had about 18 inches.
