Snow is so unusual at this time of year in the American midatlantic that, even though everyone else was getting ready for a big one, I remained skeptical all day yesterday. But they were right! We're in the midst of a serious, heavy-duty snowstorm, or as my friend Donald would say, the snow ponies have come to town.
My guess is that if I lived in Minnesota or upstate New York, I would not be so excited and enthused about snow, but since I live at the northern edge of the American south, I am thrilled anytime we get an accumulation.
Instead of going on and on as I tend to do on a day like today, I'm thinking I'll have another cup of tea, get my book and read and gaze and revel in the beauty of it all.

Great pics of the snow ...
I can imagine how pretty it is where you live ...
Enjoy your weekend ...

Nothing better than a white blanket of snow - love the photos - enjoy your day
SO cool! We're still waiting here ... with high hopes ... I am always excited to see snow. Every time it's all new to me!
Love the pics!
Sounds like a perfect reading day to me! Love snow during the holidays. So festive.
It's a perfect day to just chill out, especially since my entire day got cancelled. The beauty of the snow makes it all seem okay.
Wowsers!
We are waiting for it this very minute
no snow yet!
Only snow chairs ever photographed! Enjoy the sights!
reya even though you're only a few hours south as my crow buddies fly - and they tell me they go there and back in a day! - there's no snow forecast for us 'till monday. it's cold cold cold outside though so the snow and ice we've already got is staying. i love the cair on the left. the one that looks like it was designed sometime in the late sixties. i'd cocoon inside those soft folds . . . . . . have a soft snowy dc day . steven
We are now under a blizzard warning, and truly buried in snow. Even the most intrepid neighbors have abandoned the idea of keeping the walks clear of snow for the time being. Tomorrow we will have to dig ourselves out!
We had snow this morning, but it's moved on to rain. Sigh. On the plus side, my father says that the snow they're getting in NC should still be on the ground on Friday - so, white Christmas in NC! That's something, anyway.
Yeah! Enjoy
Your kickback day reveling in the fluffy glitter.
"the snow ponies have come to town"
I love that!
Great pics.
Happy gazing.
woohoo!
Up here in NYC we are still waiting for that snow to drift up from the DC area.
I hear you guys got really snowed in!
Too bad this snow isn't going to come down Sunday night....then we would get a snow day for school.
It is pretty intense! Maybe I have become a southerner because I haven't really enjoyed being outdoors like I thought I would today.
Hmmm ...
Love the snow-covered chairs! Since the snow is coming, best thing is to enjoy it.
That is a HUGE amount of snow for a December in DC! I heard we're supposed to have a very cold winter -- I wonder if this is the first taste?
In any case, we're getting a lot of snow here, too, and I love it! (As long as I don't have to be outside!)
So gorgeous Reya. I completely get the ecstasy! But poor Jessica, on her way home from Niger got stuck at JFK, how unlucky.
