This Weekend's Snow (December 19, 2009 - DC-area Snowcapolypse)

[chomiji]

I should have walked around yesterday and taken pictures of the neighborhood (Takoma Park, MD), but I was too pooped after shoveling. Anyway, I did take a few around the house.

 

My poor car, almost completely buried - and the snow was still falling.
 

Our trash cans give an idea of the actual snowfall amount ... it was still falling at this point.

That's an intense snowfall. I had no idea how deep it was, especially if you don't have the ploughs or snow storage areas to dump it. Not only that, but it will be hellish if there is a sudden very warm thaw because that will cause flooding.
