Headed This Way!!

It’s here. After treating us to high winds and freezing temperatures early in the week, Old Man Winter decided that some snow might be a nice way to wind up the week. So, last night the weather pundits started posting “advisories”. As usual, the DC centric folk worried about the one or two inches in the metro area, tossing off as an afterthought “with higher totals possible further south of the city”.

Hey buddy, that’s US down here in Southern Maryland you’re blowing off. So we awoke this morning to find that three counties had canceled school, the roads had been “treated”, and there was absolutely no snow. School officials over reacting as usual, what dunderheads, etc. Up until about 10:30 when a fine misty snow began to appear. Given the recent cold wave, it immediately began to pile up on the streets. Fortunately the chemicals worked their magic, and the snow adhered to the road as if with Velcro, much to the delight of the SUV and manly pickup owners, who immediately speed up to show their stuff. I made it home (from Starbucks) without incident and now we sit and watch out the window.



Of course we have many visitors at the stations





We’re supposed to go to one of our favorite parties tonight over in Leonardtown, so not sure if we’ll make it. What a miserable season for parties for us (another story for another time)

Anyway, all of the visitors at our bird feeders are of course
