Record-Breaking Snowfall

December 19: There was some major amounts of snow expected for the weekend. The snow started falling Friday evening and after Midnight the pace increased. I was glad for the weekend and slept in awhile. It's always fun looking out of the window and seeing how much snow fell. It wasn't until the afternoon that I went outside to walk in the snow and then shovel the driveway, sidewalk, and area around my car.

Fifteen inches of snow was officially measured at Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C. The snowfall for this day broke a couple records: 1) The daily record snowfall for the date (7 inches in 1945) and 2) The all-time record om DC for any single calendar day, surpassing the 11.5 inches from December 17, 1932. All this snow makes things a bit crazy for people in the DC area, especially with driving. I was content to stay in this day, except for clearing pathways at the house and taking pictures around it.
