Interesting, I was a bit bored and read up what a Snow Emergency in MD means. It's actually unlawful in MD to drive with summer tyres during the snow emergency, requiring all-seasons at minimum.

It's common sense but I'm surprised they actually came up with a law for it.

Luckily, in MD, and the rest of the US for that matter, cars are shod with tires, not tyres, so the law has no bearing in this situation.

It's a good thing you don't drive a Russian car, it takes a lot more effort to fake being Russian than European.

Talked to my knucklehead Kidz up in SouthJoisey...
they have about 20+ ", and it's still coming down.
They report it is not too wet there, but really swirling
and blowing. Gee, I miss snow.

It finally stopped here about an hour ago. We're awaiting the official snowfall totals from BWI. It's very close to setting the all-time snowfall record. The record currently belongs to the February 2003 storm that dumped 26.8" of snow. At noon, BWI reported 26.5", so I think this storm did it!

Of course, the news on all major networks has been on all day. They've been showing traffic videos of the major highways - I-95, 695, etc - and they are completely covered. Barely one lane is passable. Things should be getting better since the storm has stopped.

There are over 150,000 homes without power in Maryland and over 200,000 in the DC/Northern Virginia area.

Here's a picture my sister took of our road. It's one of the main roads in our rural part of the county.

Thumbs up My measurement "skillz"

So, I covered up Norma Jean last night and this is the result.


She is almost out!


Pup playing in the snow!


I could not find a ruler so, I used the next best thing. I know that a bottle of Patron is approximatelly 18cm for us American that would be 7.1 inches. This is at the mailbox approximately 17.3 inches give or take a few;-)


And this half way from the front door to the mailbox, approximately 22.4 inches.

I'll have pics tomorrow when I get back and plug in the memory card adaptor. We had some sleet mix in last night which pushed down the totals, and made things hard to shovel. Total in Spotsylvania, VA was about 16" (40cm). The power flickered a few times, and 4 trees fell on the road leading out of our street. The community was quick to plow the roads in the neighbourhood (clear by 6pm) and cut the downed trees. I had some fun in the X3 but given how much it's snowed this winter, it's wearing a bit thin.

Now here's comes the cold. -12°C (10F) right now.
