Snowpocalypse 2 — 14th Street timelapse

If you weren’t lucky enough to be caught in the epic snowstorm that blanketed DC, Virginia, and points north, here’s a really cool video that shows the snow getting deeper and deeper. My parents live up near DC and were amazed at the amounts. Some years they don’t get more than an inch or so, and every few decades, it’s like this. I had one year in secondary school where we had three snowstorms, expertly spaced, that kept us out of school for almost three weeks. Whee! Except it ruined summer; we were in school making it up until July, and for families that sent kids to summer camp, it was a real problem. That may happen for them this year, too. So if you’re not stuck in it, enjoy the video!
The Woolly Worm with the rest of the family
Back in October, when I wasn’t posting here, one of the events you missed was the Woolly Worm Festival in Banner Elk, NC. This little caterpillar fellow accurately predicts the harshness of the coming winter by the thickness of the black band he grows. Well, not only did he have a mostly black fuzziness, it *snowed* on his party! We trudged through a muddy country fair between the snowflakes, and didn’t stay as long as we might have because it was truly cold. The Woolly Worm didn’t lie…..this winter has been quite memorable.

Sorry to hear that as this weekend’s snow wasn’t enough, they’re expecting 4-6 more inches tomorrow. Ugh! Go away, Winter!
