Snow, Ice Report for Lovettsville, VA, December 9, 2013. 

The snow started yesterday afternoon about 3:00 p.m.  It was coming down quite hard, but faded as the day went on.

I've been in the "get ready for winter mode" for about a month.  I've got a good load of firewood (yes, I cleaned out the firebox of old ashes), Friday, I accumulated plenty of food and treats in case someone dropped by.  I leave my garage door open in ice/snow storms in case the electricity  goes out.  Thankfully it didn't.

Hurray, someone did drop by.  Fernanco Hermoso dropped by Saturday and we had a wonderful long chat.  HA!  Our visit was so good and at such a high real estate level, I should've registered it as an ActiveRain Meet-Up.  Oh Well.

So, this a.m. once daylight came the scene below greeted me.

 

 

I'm not thrilled with such a severe snow/ice storm this early in the season. 

Goodness, what's going to happen when winter comes.

Lenn,  I think the a good portion of the states have been dealing with this crazy weather.  Hopefully it settles down and we get back to normal soon.

Barbara.  Thanks.  Indeed.  Fernando and I are old friends.  I'm so glad he took the time to visit.

He had a listing appt. in my area and visited following that.

You'd like him.  He's a straight shooter.

Given the news prior to the event, I am surprised we are still all alive.  I thought the glacial ice pack was coming for sure.

Now tonight we are due another "severe" event!  What will we do?  What will we do?

The snow looks beautiful Lenn, but it is early in the season for so much, and the ice too.  Sounds like you had a great visit with Fernando...you had to be feelin' groovy.

Lenn we got a dusting which ended up freezing up into a sheet of ice.  We are suppose to get a couple of inches for tomorrow.

Roger.  Fernanco is a dear.  Yes, wonderful visit.

Kathy.  Don't think I haven't thought about it.  Sadly, the real estate market cured me of those thoughts.

George.  I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS WEATHER.  I DID NOT PLAN FOR IT.  IT'S MUCH TO EARLY TO BE IN THE MIDST OF WINTER.  I HATE IT!!!!

I agree, what's going to happen when WINTER finally arrives?  For the wet Pacific NW we sure had no moisture for about a week, otherwise we'd have been buried.
