Recovering from MakeWinterGreatAgain

It's official: we made it through the snowfall of MakeWinterGreatAgain, aka Snowzilla, aka Jonas and now we're on to the cleanup. Our particular street is rated by Arlington County as a secondary priority road, which means that by the time we were done shoveling our driveway, you could see the pavement in front of our house. A number of other streets in our neighborhood, which don't rank on this scale, have yet to see a plow at all. So yeah, nobody's going anywhere tomorrow or probably the next day.

I wanted to do more exploring and perhaps a bit of sledding but Arlington County has been pleading with residents to stay off the roads, including walkers. So we're trying to give the folks doing serious cleanup work a break and staying put. Now I've just got to convince Shira to help me build one of these...

Stay warm and safe.

  2. Apparently a planet that rarely, if every, sees snow :-). We're 3 days into the storm recovery and the county just announced that they're over 50% complete with plowing residential roads. Whoo!

    Yeah, school kids have it pretty good...snows on Friday Night / Saturday and they get most of, if not all of, the week off.
