The electricity has flickered a few times, but so far so good - I'm shocked (and incredibly thankful) that we still have power. Less than 24 hour ago, there wasn't a single snow flake on this table, and the forecast is calling for another 12 hours of snow.

It's a very heavy snow. Hubby says it's extremely likely that tree limb will fall. I hope not, it's a favorite spot for birds.

Hubby cleaned off the top of this car and shoveled the snow all around it last night. The metal tire rims of are 16 inches, just to give you some perspective.

That little dot in the bottom right corner of the photo is our mailbox. Something tells me the mailman won't be visiting today.
Seriously, I thought we were escaping this kind of snow fall when we left Minnesota. This is Northern Virginia... it's not supposed to snow like this here. Help!
Update:The snow has finally stopped and it looks like we got 33 inches in all - that's nearly an inch per hour since the snow started falling yesterday morning.

Let the digging begin!
