We got a little snow

I believe the final measurement was 11 or 12 inches. I know to my friends from up north, this is nothing. This is Virginia though, so this is a major snowfall. These first two pictures were taken at 6:45 AM, which is why they're so dark (and my hand was apparently a little unsteady, so they're a bit blurry too). It apparently snowed for several more hours afterward.


Gateway tries to decide if checking out the squirrel tracks is worth getting the paws wet. He's standing in the one clear spot on the deck, where the bird feeder had been sitting the night before.

Unfortunately, my hopes of a snow day have been dashed; since the feds have to work, so do I. Not that I work with the federal government, but it's an easy way to make decisions about weather-related closures. It's not a surprise though, since all the major roads in my area have been clear pretty much all day. It kinda blows, since I could really use another day to not get anything done at home rather than not getting anything done at work.
