Returning to the Snow in DC


Shane works on our steps.



We were at my Mom's celebrating Christmas over the weekend. She lives in Rising Sun, MD, near the Pennsylvania line in the northeast corner of the state. We made the trek down I-95 this morning to see what the snow situation was at our house. It was deep. We were able to dig out a parking space and dig out the front steps and sidewalk. We then had to dig the drifting snow off the roof (we are afraid too much weight up there will cause a catastrophe) and dig snow off our back deck (also afraid of a possible collapse). After helping my Mom dig out yesterday and this morning and then coming home and digging for a large part of the day, my back is killing me. They said we got 16 inches in DC, but I think it all drifted over to our house!
