Snowmageddon. Snowpocalypse. SnOMG! Yes, the DC area has been digging out from the biggest storm this New England girl has ever seen. Here’s a view down our street at around 11 a.m. yesterday.
I ventured out into our backyard and measured.
And the result?
28 inches and counting. We probably got another 3 inches before the snow tapered off in the late afternoon.
Today we completed digging out the car and breaking through to the street. We also got the news that Montgomery County Schools will be closed both Monday AND Tuesday. With another storm on the way Tuesday evening.
C., not surprisingly, is thrilled. Not to say that she’s off the hook for schoolwork. Thanks to the wonders of technology, she’ll be getting updated assignments from her teachers through EdLine. M. on the other hand, my extroverted girl, is starting to go a bit stir crazy. She also has work she could be doing, namely that National History Day paper.
As for me, I wish I could have two snow days, but alas, as long as I have power and my laptop, I can work anywhere. So no playing for me.
Interesting school note. Prince George’s County, like MCPS, has run out of snow days and will have to extend the school year. (“That’s okay mom, nothing happens at the end of the year.”) However that doesn’t help with standardized testing, which is just around the corner. PG is going to petition the state to move back the MSA.
I will have a snow day (MOST LIKELY) tomorrow, but the AAMC (American Association of Medical Colleges) will not be moving back their test either.
At least, my child has her homework and we are highly capable of helping her with it. And we have a house full of books and enough food. Books are more important

Wow! That IS winter wonderland(or nightmare?) !
No school is awesome news!
We have no snow here. But ’sunny’ California is kind of seeming to be not fitting at the moment. It is ‘Wet, gloomy, dull’ CA. The worse part is during our India trip for the past couple of months, we faced monsoons and we came back to the same gloomy rainy weather:(( I am longing for some sunshine…..
Seeing your picture I cannot make up my mind if it would be more fun to be in the snow or in the rain…
How about making a snowman family? I can send my kids out there to give a hand…
I am not sure if I would miss my NY life or my Seattle life anymore.

We’re going to attempt an igloo. Seriously But may have to wait a day or so for this snow to compact/crust up. You’re welcome to fly out to help!
Um, school has been called off for the rest of the week. Enjoy.
