Day 83 - Safely Home!

We arrived at Heathrow early this morning, just a little later than anticipated.  David had a mad dash to his flight to Hamburg and James very kindly met me at Terminal 5 and drove back to Leamington.

Emma was snuggled up in her bed and I soon followed her example for a couple of hours.

Meanwhile back in Reston temperatures have dropped very low indeed and with a cold wind too.   However the forecast was for sunshine today despite the cold and no doubt some amazing photo opportunities have been missed!

I have therefore been looking in the web to see what others have posted.  The snow is very dry and powdery and therefore we had told Lauren when she asked that it was definitely not suitable for making snowmen (or snow cats). However, in Washington DC someone has proved us wrong...

This lovely picture of a snowman (with Oreo features) in front of the Lincoln Memorial appeared on the www.weather.com website today with hundreds of other pictures of snowy scenes in Virginia, Washington DC , Maryland and New York.
