A Snowy Weekend In January
Friday the 22nd: The first flakes started falling around noon.
Friday 1/22: Ninety minutes later we had a nice frosting of snow.
Friday 1/22: This was around 4:00: thicker and deeper!
Friday, 1/22: Snowy woods behind our place.
Friday, 1/22: Snow in the lamplight at twilight. So pretty and peaceful!
Saturday 1/23, around 1 PM. Looking south from the safety of my front stoop. Looks like about 24″ with drifting and plow piles 4 feet and higher. And still coming down!
Saturday, 1/23: Looking north. So pretty!
Sunday, 1/24: Sunset. It’s been a lovely snowy weekend!
For most of us on the East Coast, this past weekend was all about ****snow****. In the Shenandoah Valley, we got a little over 24 inches, and that was plenty! I was personally impressed by how fast the road crews cleared the streets. My husband dug out one of our cars yesterday, so we were able to drive out and get a little emotional head space.
I posted these pictures on Instagram and my Facebook page, but thought you might like to see them here, as well. 🙂
Hope you and your loved ones were safe and warm this weekend!
It looks lovely! Kitty-cornered from you in Virginia, we got slightly more than a dusting. It seemed to snow forever, but the ground was too warm to do more than create a layer of slush. Today it’s mostly gone. At least we don’t have to shovel it.
🙂
Wow sounds like you all got the best of all worlds: all the pretty snow, and none of the cleanup! That’s great! 😊 Thanks so much for your comment!
Beautiful! And in Washington, DC it was also beautiful and people came out to play like children. I haven’t seen the city so happy since the Redskins won the Super Bowl!! I think the fun has been worth the ugh part.
That’s awesome about the adults playing like children. Love that. 💜 And couldn’t agree more about the fun being worth the ugh! This was a very fun snow. 😄
