We did a pretty good job of avoiding cold weather this holiday season. We escaped the East just before the huge snow storm before Christmas, took off to sunny Costa Rica, and I skipped out of Houston to Phoenix just before a big freeze. This past weekend we got about a foot of snow in Richmond and it shut almost EVERYTHING down. It was insanity. Central Virginia isn't really equipped to handle the snowstorms like this; between the 18 inches (that we missed) in December, the 12-14 inches this weekend, and the ADDITIONAL expected snow this coming weekend, Richmond's getting a lot of snow - more than ever expected. We heard when we moved here, we would be lucky if we got one snowstorm per year (some 4th year dental student families said they got snow last year and that was the first time they'd seen it in the 3 years they'd been here).
Church was cancelled on Sunday and so was school on Monday. We obviously enjoyed the downtime and watching people get stuck in the snowdrift at the mailbox - right out side our window. We really just wish that we lived closer to a mountain so we could enjoy the fresh powder!
