3/27 The Day After

It's kind of funny...looking at the wintry forest in the back of our house, it's hard to believe that I-83 and all of it's fast-paced city feel is outside our front door!

26/365 Wipers

The pre-snow wiper lifting seems to be a Maryland phenomenon.  I never saw it in SC..and some of my friends from farther North seem to be baffled as well.

48/365 Maybe May?

This is one of the giant, dirty snowpiles in the parking lot near my office.  This is a common sight in Maryland these days.  We've been taking bets on when these monstrosities will melt!  My guess is May.

44/365 Melting

The snow is finally melting!  So sorry that this photo is not rotated...no matter what I do I can't get it rotated here!  It is rotated in my iPhoto...whatever. 

42/365 PUSH!

 

I have learned another valuable lesson from my time here in Maryland.  How to get a car out of a snowbank.  This was not my car...but now I know what to do in case it ever is!

41/365 Frosted Window Panes

...candles glowing inside, painted candy canes...on the tree.  Santa's come and gone, we're left with lots of snoooooow!  Snow for you and for me...

40/365 How in the world...

...do you make it through 3-4 feet of snow in 5 days?  See above.  French wine, it helps pass the time. :)

37/365 Norwegian Forest Cats, Perhaps?

My bedroom window is clearly the best vantage point for watching the snow.  Marcello ran out the front door in the snow earlier.  Thankfully I grabbed him before he got too far out (in my bare feet!) It didn't phase him.  I think he definitely has some Norwegian Forest Cat in him...

35/365 Here comes the snow

Marcello and I are ready in case the power goes out during Snowpocalypse '10!

33/365 My Church in the Snow

St. Anne's in the snow.  Today's good news?  This is officially where I will be getting married!  Woohoo!

30/365 Bridal Snow

I bought a wedding dress today after driving in this:

Sorry.  Can't post photos of the dress...

Blizzard '09

Well, the snow we thought was coming did arrive, and dumped 20+ inches of snow on good 'ole Annapolis!  No Saturday/Sunday Messiah performances...no 22 mile run...it was actually nice to have 2 days where I had to pretty much stay in the house!

Looking out my second story window in a slow part of the blizzard

By Sunday, both my roommate and I were dealing with cabin fever, so we ventured the few miles on icy/snowy roads to downtown Annapolis.  We started out at the Rams Head, and then moved over to Galway Bay.  On the walk over, I grabbed a few photos of downtown in the snow.

As lovely as it was, I hope we don't have anymore storms like this anytime soon!
