So of course we finally got some snow right after all of that! Not a lot compared to those of you further up the I95 corridor, but a lot for the DC area.

Our new neighbors who share the breezeway are about to move in and their unit has a whole bunch of tiles off the roof. The only bright side of that whole thing is we finally may be able to persuade the condo association to cut down the tree. It's beautiful, but it's dangerous to the roof AND the roots have pushed up under our patio so badly that it's too bumpy to really use it!
JR has been out TWICE playing in the snow and the Man and SC took a long walk and cleared off our cars. And I'm content to curl up inside, do lots of baking and enjoy the view.
