At first light this morning there was no sign of snow and we wondered whether the Snow Day would in fact be a Rain Day - it had rained all night.
However, once it started it snowed steadily all day and despite the often tiny flakes it quickly accumulated so that by this evening there was some 8-9" on top of the residues of the last fall.
The birds were having a hard time and even the squirrels, despite eating their way through the day, looked disheveled and fed up..
One came to the window to see if things looked better on the inside..
At lunchtime, David thought that it would be 'a good idea' to go for a walk to Fox Mill and have some lunch. We set off..
The Reston Parkway was pretty clear, except for a convoy of snow ploughs..
Coming home it was deeper than ever and I had to walk in David's footprints to stay upright!
Poor old trees and shrubs..
Poor old yeti woman..
Mad dogs and Englishpersons etc. Was anyone else out in that? Looks beautiful and the creatures are very well snapped!
ReplyDeleteSteve has said it all really but shouldn't you let some of those poor creatures into the house?! It is always harder than you think walking in snow! Just to cheer you up and make you thoroughly homesick it is BEAUTIFUL here. Sun shining, birds singing , flowers bursting into colour......
ReplyDeleteWe now know who the Yeti is !!!!!!!!
