DC Snow Report, Day 2, Part 2

[bjarvis]

The electricity just came back on at 3pm today. We're crossing our fingers it stays on but in the interim, we're running the furnace and charging the small appliances. There's still no sign of a snow plow so we're still trapped in our neighbourhood, but now that we're warm, we're fine with that.

While we have power, I'm uploading some photos taken earlier today:

	Our house. The white lump in front is our minivan. DC Snowstorm, 2010-02-07
	A neighbour's house. There are solar panels on the front of the roof. Trust me, they're there. DC Snowstorm, 2010-02-07
	House view. Our house was on the left. The fence in the center is taller than waist-high but nearly entirely buried. DC Snowstorm, 2010-02-07

When I lived in the District (just after the last Ice Age) if you weren't on a bus route your street didn't get plowed. Made for some fun times driving on hard packed ice.

I was living in Arlington during the Feb. '79 blizzard - as I recall that was over two feet with a foot already on the ground - but sounds like this one topped that.
