Snowmageddon 2010 has Started in the DC Area, Day 2

6:00 pm ET — Guess what?! It’s NOT snow­ing any­more. YEAH!!!!! I think after all was said and done we got around 36 inches. INSANE!!!! Here is the last pic­ture at 6:00 pm. I will do a video for tomor­row. We will not be going any­where for a while. My dri­ve­way is clear, but there is about 2ft of snow on the road.

4:00 pm ET - Still snow­ing (how many times have I said that now??!!), but it is slow­ing down a lit­tle bit so that is good news. VDOT just announced on NBC4 that it may be next week before they get into the neigh­bor­hoods to clear the streets espe­cially since we are get­ting more snow on Tuesday/Wednesday. See how my nice tall ever­green tree is now limp and droopy.

2:00 pm ET — It’s still com­ing down quite heavy. We just got the call that school is closed for Mon­day and Tues­day and they are talk­ing about a pos­si­bil­ity of 6+ inches of snow on Tues­day night into Wednes­day so that will prob­a­bly put us out for Wed at least. Should be a fun week around here.

Noon ET — I can’t believe this, but it is still snow­ing at a rate of about 2 inches/hour. And they tell us that we are get­ting a heav­ier band of snow com­ing in later this after­noon. My neigh­bor and my son cleared the dri­ve­way, but there is already a cou­ple of inches on the dri­ve­way. This is absolutely insane. I don’t even know how to describe it, so here is a pic­ture…   I don’t know how much we have, but it’s clos­ing in on 30 inches I think.

9:00 am ET — We now have 26 inches on the ground and about 10 inches still com­ing. Sup­posed to be done by 10pm, unless it stalls. This is absolutely insane. And my 13 yr old is PO’d cuz he wants a new game and we can’t go get it. The dog jumped out onto the deck and then jumped right back in. She won’t go out­side now. I’m going to have to teach her to pee in the toi­let I think.

5:00 am ET — I got up just to take a few pic­tures at 5am. It was com­ing down hard. I could hear the wind still howl­ing for much of the night. The drift­ing is real bad too.

Mid­night — It’s Mid­night and it’s been snow­ing for 14 hours now and we have 12+ inches. As I’m lay­ing in bed, I can hear the wind whistling and pulling the sid­ing up from the house. We do not have any big trees around our house, so there are no chances of a tree falling on my house. It’s so quiet in the house and I’m watch­ing the snow blow­ing out my win­dow. Very pretty!
