As in still snowing, and clear up to your ass.
Lucky me, I get to scoop a path across the deck seen in the picture a few posts back. The satellite dish is atop the shed; we’ve lost the signal. Being snowbound and teevee-less is an intolerable combination. A light brooming off of the dish should [...]

Your forbearance is humbly requested, while I post yet another snow photo. This is a view out tbbs WorldHQ’s front door, which reveals my covered ‘01 Saturn. We think MLB’s ‘08 is under the pile mid-photo, and our neighbor’s VW is visible on the right.
There’s evidence there that a neighboorhood Good Samaritan, who presumably is [...]

When life sends you snow, you blog about it. With pictures. This one reveals our outside Sirius Satellite Radio antenna. This is needed to get any kind of reliable signal at all; here in the underbelly of our three-level townhouse, the indoor antenna just doesn’t cut it.
I think it looks like a little Christmas tree. [...]

The view of the deck, taken just a few minutes ago. That white conical device is our Brinkmann Smoker, under a fresh blanket of the white stuff. To the right is the black Weber Kettle grill, sporting the latest in white hattery. We’re expecting 10-18″ before this storm moves on up the coast, and we’re [...]
I’d estimate last night’s snowfall at around 6 or 8 inches. The wind is kicking up. An application of the implements mentioned in this post’s title is needed. In the order in which they are mentioned.

In my never-ending fascination with self-referential blog posts, I offer you the AccuWeather Widget’s readings for this evening.
66o? In February in Northern Virginia? Lame observations masquerading as content, maybe, but man 66o. I shudder to look at the forecast. A day of reckoning is sure to happen. For now, I’m enjoying this. [...]

This was clipped from the right sidebar here in tbbs-land just a minute ago:
The windchill is 22o or so now. Into the teens tonight.
I don’t know what we’ll do when winter gets here.

The waxing and waning of the Hanna rain bands make me a little woozy. I think it’s over, and then here comes another wave. A wave of buckets, more precisely. And the wind is picking up a bit.
We’re warm, dry, powered up, and happy. Still, I’ll be glad when this is over. I gotta [...]

The remnants of TS Hanna are passing over as I type this. Near as I could tell from the radar, the storm will track more to the south and east of where we are, and then take a turn northward up the coast.
Nevertheless, the rain bands are, well, banding up, and dumping rain in [...]
Just in from Channel 4’s morning weather report:
Thick humidity is in the air around Reston and Loudoun County.
What is this? Fog? I’m not sure; I’ll just be glad when summer’s over.
