Blizzard 2010 Washington, DC Area

Judging by TV news reports the snowstorm of February 5-6, 2010 was officially christened Blizzard 2010. That was an impressive nature showdown. I actually enjoyed the snow days. Spent Friday afternoon and all day on Saturday at home, with the fireplace cozy chirping, sipping on porto, watching movies with the family, and just taking it easy. As long as there was no power outage, and we were blessed to have power all through the storm, it was quite enjoyable time for our family.

I took three measurements of snow. One on Saturday afternoon on the ground, when the snowfall was practically gone - 23 inches of snow. Today I measured snow on the top of my car – 19 inches, and on the patio table – 21 inches. Not sure why it was less today. Either it was blown away by the wind, or, more likely, compacted under the sunshine. Whichever way you look it it was a lot of snow.

I did not bother myself with the homework for my classes until Sunday. Actually Sunday late morning, early afternoon I had to spend time digging out my car and cleaning the parking space in front of the house. It was an enjoyable exercise. Now I will have to do some catch up work on my MBA assignments. But first I want to share some of the pictures of the snowstorm.
