Snowfest 09
I expect to see snowflakes falling outside of our windows at any moment now. Friends in the surrounding Washington, DC area are reporting snowfall. The local news is
calling for 14-20 inches between tonight and Sunday morning. Wow! And winter doesn't even start until Tuesday!
I am fortunate not to be flying during this weekend's Winter Wonderland. Earlier this afternoon, my airline cancelled most flights through late afternoon tomorrow. Not the best timing for a
storm...the weekend before Christmas!
So, while I am planning to enjoy our freak snowstorm, I am not hoping for ruined holiday plans...and don't forget my top travel tips and also be sure you have your Plan B in place!
And, starting Monday, I'll be flying through the day after Christmas. With all the families and holiday stress piled under our Snowfest '09, I am sure it is going to be an....adventure! I'll take
notes and let you know!
Merry Christmas, y'all.
Edit: Saturday night--airports in DC are closed for the most part, until tomorrow morning. Here's some pictures from the snowstorm:
Our neighbor e-mailed this to me this afternoon--our house from her house, around 2 p.m. Look at the snow on the roof of my car!
The snow against the screen on the sliding glass door on our deck.
I was out playing in the snow with my neighbor, Melody. She pointed behind me and said, "Look! There's an elf!" And look what was there:
Our very own neighborhood elf*!
*He said it was his Halloween costume and he wanted to get his money's worth from it!

ReplyHi there! Nice to see that you are blogging here again. This morning I put up some photos of the first day of winter in St Croix, US Virgin Islands.
