I saw the first picture and thought that was an early snow shot - no doubt when I saw the second. My truck had about 2+ foot on top, and the any snow drifts were about 3' :)

I have a similar before and after picture of our deck. 32.4 inches at Dulles Airport. In Centreville here, we are still digging ourselves out.

You are so correct. A day really did make a  lot of difference.  Your photos are so beautiful. The before and the after show that you  live in a beautidul area.

Karen, oh my!  Aren't we seeing a lot of snow photo posts today!  Right now I'm ready for the melt down.

Posted by Patricia Kennedy (Evers & Company Realtors) about 1 month ago

Karen, great photos!  Unfortunately it looks like my back yard as well.  What an amazing amount of shoveling I have to do today.

Karen * my neighbor with a plow will come by today and plow my drive * then I'll try to get out - SUN IS OUT and my dogs are blinking because they lost their sunglasses!!!

Great pics!!!

Hi Karen, wow! So that's what 2+ feet of snow looks like. Long Island only got a dusting. We were supposed to get 3 to 6". Spring anyone? :)

Karen, very aptly titled! So I guess Super Bowl grilling is out of the question today?

I must admit I'm a bit jealous, I saw about a dozen flakes them nothing but rain :(

Karen, looks like we have some shoveling to do in our area. I'm sure glad I bought a snow blower a couple of years ago.

Karen,

So is this going to stop you from barbequing?

Rich

Posted by Richard Iarossi, Crofton MD Real Estate, Annapolis MD Real Estate (Long and Foster® Real Estate, Inc.) about 1 month ago

Holy Mackerel! Well I guess you better throw another log on the fire and take some time to read, bake and maybe even blog and there is some sort of game on today too  ;-)

One other thing, when my wife was in anesthesia school in Minnesota I actually DID barbecue in snow drifts like this!

Wow Karen, that was some snow storm. Out West, we heard that you were all hammered with this storm. The two photos nicely demonstrate the event.

Karen, There's nothing like watching the flakes gently fall to earch. Looks peaceful. Stay warm.
Posted by Wayne Johnson Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper Realtors (San Antonio Area Real Estate) about 1 month ago

Even for me growing up in Wisconsin, that's an amazing amount of snow in one day. I bet you'll be really glad to see the calendar turn to March!

Posted by John Novak - Las Vegas and Henderson NV Real Estate (Keller Williams Realty The Marketplace) about 1 month ago

Karen,

Your railing just grew by a foot or two. And there is more on the way, I see. Hang in there, it shall pass.

Posted by Esko Kiuru - Las Vegas NV Mortgage Consultant (FHA, VA, Conventional, Refinance, Jumbo) about 1 month ago

Wayne  Peaceful, but enugh is enough

Posted by Karen Kruschka - Prince William, Fairfax ,Stafford County VA Real Estate Service (RE/MAX Olympic Realty) about 1 month ago

John  March can't come too soon

Esko  We don't really have a choice - nothing is moving

Hi Karen - Someone said on AR that as the snow has begun to melt she has never been so happy to see dead grass again!  I think we're all feeling that way.

Posted by Dan Quinn, Realtor, DanQuinnHomes.com (Prudential Advantage Realty) 13 days ago
