It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Well it is beginning to look a lot like winter at least... The DC area got hit with it's biggest storm (maybe ever, but def. since the blizzard of 1922). We, being apartment folk, don't own a snow shovel (which is now on our Christmas list, haha) so we had to get a little creative in the digging out process...

Here are some pictures of around our place...
Evergreen trees always look so pretty in the snow...

As does the local lake which I took a little walk to... although I couldn't get close since I only have my ankle high hiking boots... I guess I need to get some winter gear!


We employed an inovative snow removal system... a regular shovel and our laundry basket (so we didn't just shovel it into the "plowed" area. Our apartment complex has kind of slacked, our roads are pretty terrible.


And here is the before scene... it took a while to clean off our cars, especially since a lot of snow drifted in between them, causing the snow to pile almost waist high!!



All in all, pretty exciting for this area!!
