Lesson #122: Why Driving in Snow can be dangerous?

Ouch! This is exactly why I have not ventured out in this stuff. Be careful out there!

Snomageddon Continues…

With another 6-12 inches in the forecast, I am starting to feel that Virginia is now part of the tundra.  Instead of a political post, I wanted to share images from yesterday.  After shoveling, I decided to take a walk around my community and take some pictures with my iPhone capturing the 30 inches of snow on the ground.  It is amazing how beautiful snow can be and how it can capture the senses.

12 Inches of Global Warming…Nah…try 24 Inches Plus

So much for global warming…heh? Global warming is now 24 inches of snow with more to come.

Snowpocalypse 2010: The Return of Insanity

I hate the snow! Absolutely hate it with the exception of the Federal Government going on shut down mode (yay…they aren’t destroying my liberties, so I am happy) and people losing their minds to load up on the essentials (this means beer, wine, Diet Coke (Coke for those not counting calories), ice cream, hot chocolate mix, frozen pizza, potato chips, milk, eggs, bread, toilet paper…anything else considered absolutely necessary for survival that Giant or the other retailers simply ran out of in preparation of Snowpocalypse 2010). The TV stations have decided to go 24/7 with their OMG…we’re all going to die coverage! Everybody is losing their minds, and I am loving every minute of it!

Otherwise, the snow is allowing me to catch up on the much needed sleep, baking, and watching several hilarious SNL episodes on Hulu and lots of TBS. I have a feeling cabin fever will infect me shortly, so it will begin looking like this.

So, in the meantime, I will allow you to have a glance of what winter is really like outside the above ground bunker in lovely Fairfax County.

Went grocery shopping at our neighborhood Giant…no bread (case in point, my pic), no cake mix, no chicken, no frozen pizza!

Bread…well, it’s slim pickings!

No Frozen Pizza…the World’s gonna end!

Forget about the chicken! Who needs it???

Yes, the snow has provided simple beauty. This would include the Caps win against the Thrashers tonight for win #13.

Massive Snow on the Way!

I guess it must be the inner child in me, but I am ready for the massive snow fall that is forecasted for the area surrounding the underground bunker.  Now, this is unusual for the sunny, 70 degree runner in me, so we are now going to receive much more than anticipated as I have changed my preference for the cold, white stuff.  Oh well, I am ready for the weekend inside the bunker to catch up on internet stuff, cleaning and baking.
