Surprise Winter

Well this winter seemed to be pretty minimal in the snow department, and as much as I would've loved to have had a huge snowstorm on some weekend back in December or January, by March I assumed the chance of that had passed. However, back at the beginning of March we got a freak snowstorm that brought about 5 inches of snow to Leesburg, and up to 21 inches in the mountains. Since the government closed for the day, Josh and I weren't able to go to work, so we decided to take the opportunity to make our first, and only, crockpot full of chili! It's nice to be able to stay inside in the nice warm house, in our nice warm comfy clothes, with the dogs curled up with us and the smell of chili cooking all day long!

Once all the snow melted, we thought we were done for the year, and then this morning, here comes a few more inches! AND I see it forecasted again for next Monday. As much as I love snow, it's not nearly as much fun when you become an adult, and you have to take paid time off from work AND worry about shoveling your car out of the drive! So next time, I'd really love it if the snow came on a Friday evening, snowed all day Saturday, and then miraculously melted all on its own on Sunday ;).
