Dead On
The weather forecast was dead on today. It began snowing early this morning, around 2 or 3 a.m., and has been going strong ever since. We are at 26ºF at 9:30 this morning with a wind chill of 13ºF. The snow is supposedly falling at about one to two inches per hour…….I don’t know how much we have thus far, but they are predicting heavy snow all day and into the night with a final tally of about 10 to 12 inches for our region. It is fairly windy outside right now and the snow is very fine and powdery. It is snowing pretty heavily as I take these, but you wouldn’t know…

Once Upon A Time In The Snow
This is an image of the girls playing in the snow on January 3rd, 2002….during a snow storm much like the one that is suppose to arrive tonight. This was taken with an old digital point and shoot camera a friend let me use. No frills on this camera ~ I think it may have even been one of the first ones out when it was new! I wonder if they will let me get another photo like this tomorrow during the storm? 🙂

Snow & The Parkway
I posted this image earlier today when I wrote about snow on the parkway. After I got home this evening, I reprocessed it using a “recipe” and a texture from Shadowhouse Creations. I applied “Frost” from his Heavenly Vintage Texture Set at 100% linear burn…..I like this result better than the first. I also used the same for the following photos…. This gives you an idea of what the Colonial Parkway is like. It is a three lane, unmarked road with the center lane used for passing in allowed areas ~ which there are not too many. It is a really beautiful drive….a nice way to begin and end your day. 🙂

Snow
Skippity Doo Dah…..we got snow last night as we slept! They said it would, but I didn’t believe it. Sure, it has been cold enough….but the air has also been very dry. Apparently not dry enough because the stars aligned, the conditions worked and we awoke to snow. 🙂 Not much mind you…..maybe an inch to an inch and a half. But enough to warrant a two hour delay at my daughter’s school today. By the time we got out on the streets, they were clear for the most part. After I dropped my daughter, I was off to work. I took a moment to stop on the Colonial Parkway this morning…

TWO WEEKS!
Let the fun begin……TWO WEEKS! I’m so ready for this! The image above is from a rare Christmas Day snow, 1966. Don’t you love the Christmas decorations strung across the road in the downtown area. They don’t do that any more…..not in this city anyway. I wonder if they do it in small cities still? We probably won’t have a white Christmas this year. Snow is in the forecast for this evening…we are having yet another coastal storm so there is plenty of rain. I’m not sure if the snow will happen but it is chilly, and wet, so it probably will get a bit slick tonight. There is one thing for…
