DC is closed?? LGA is ontime?? What?!






SO, basically all flights to and from DC are cancelled. And most of what has landed into LGA has been no more than 20 minutes delayed or cancelled altogether.

Moral of the story: still unsure of Mike's return home tonight. United is giving away flight vouchers to delay trips to the east coast. Will Mike take advantage of this and stay with cousin Sara tonight? We are hoping no because we miss him, but if he jumps the gun and reschedules a flight now, he'll get home that much quicker, right?!

It's 10am...we're estimated to have another 3 hours of snow.



I stuck my checkbook cover in the snow to show how deep it was...and I lost it! So, the snow is deeper than a checkbook cover (whatever that measurement is).

I told Quinn we were going outside. She can't go anywhere without her wallet and reuseable bag. She takes then everywhere!!! (see photo above). Quinn did not enjoy being in the snow, but she sure loved watching it snow from inside. Her mittens kept falling off and she kept slipping and face planting into the unshoveled snow...so we gave up the attempt to shovel with her outside too! Not to mention the wind gusts! We made it about 5 minutes...just enough time to shovel the back stairs and most of our driveway. Wet, heavy snow.

Ugh. Not to mention the Mexicans that really want to shovel my front walk for just $20! Ha!

Now Quinn is napping, so I'm going out for round 2...front of the house. It's been an hour since we did the back and there's over an inch back there already!

Our diapers are supposed to come today...hopefully they'll make it by tomorrow...I'm not sure why I wait so long to order the darn things....

In like a lion, out like a lamb? Isn't that the March saying? If that's the case, a foot plus of snow at the beginning of the month means we'll have 80 degrees at the end of March!! Right? :)

Yeah, um, DC and MD are pretty pathetic when it comes to snow. You're further north where there's more snow and they can deal with it better. I have no idea how much we officially got -- the wind has been blowing like crazy. Hopefully they get around to plowing my street so I can go into work tomorrow. Oh well means another day of rest for me!

Good luck shoveling! Hey how did Q sleep last night?
