A Right Proper Little Snowstorm

Yesterday during the day we got snow.
Then, overnight we got more snow.
Then this morning, even more snow.
Magically it has only accumulated to about 2-3 inches for the amount of time it has been snowing. Which cracks me right up.

It's very pretty out. All the tree branches are covered with the slight powdering, contrasting against the dark steel sky.  The evergreens are bent, holding up the snowdrops on their boughs. 

It's not a lot of snow. It is kind of just the right amount. In Boston this would just be a "Tuesday" but in these parts it is an emergency situation. School is closed and probably will be closed again tomorrow. Which is outright insanity to me. It is kind of amusing and annoying all at once. People measure the snow and post pictures of it for the local weather on TV. 1 inch in Bethesda! 1/2 inch and coming down in Rockville! Dudes. C'mon. 

I drove Geoff to work today and the sloppy plowing done on some streets is ridiculous, compared to our street, which is plowed perfectly because it has a school on it. A benefit I guess, but they didn't have to go over our street 8 times compared to the 1 time they went down the street to the hospital. 

But it is pretty, and Toffee is enjoying it very much. She can't catch so you can't throw a snowball to her and have her chomp it in the air. She likes for you to throw one, and she'll find it and eat it. Or you can just be nice and hand it to her. She's fast. I tried to take pictures and video of her playing but she really is too speedy. So cute.  Here's one picture I got of her that looks like.... fun.
