Keith, This is What You're Missing!
Our garbage cans are buried somewhere there! The car Can you believe this? And this? Eastern at dusk In front of our house
Update #2 From the Warmth of My House!
Well, it's 3:30 and it's stopped snowing...I'm a little disappointed in this, "Snowmageddon"--(delightful term Obama!) as the snow was supposed to continue until 8PM...Oh well--it's still the biggest snowstorm I can ever remember seeing...Thanks to being basically stranded at home, I've finished packing for Asia! Yay! About to finish watching Bright Star, take another walk and make parsnip butter bean soup...
Update #1 From: The Outside aka Snowbound! or It's All ABout the Snow!
Doesn't look like I'm going anywhere anytime soon!
I never noticed this place until my walk this morning...
Eastern Ave--this main street isn't looking too driveable!
My street!
The bedroom window...
Can't see out the basement windows!
Oh goodness! Keith has been wanting me to get some aerobic exercise for some time now. And geeze, my recent walk fit the bill! It is crazy out there--apocalyptic. Unlike other places I've lived, Baltimore doesn't plow side streets...No one could get their cars out of these streets even if they wanted to, even if they could get themselves dug out! They are impassable! The snow is at least up to my knees...I managed to walk to the mailbox and then out to Eastern to see what a main street looked like--not good! It was somewhat plowed, but still snowy snowy. The only thing moving were ambulances and plows...I stood on the corner by the Middle Eastern market and called Keith and my dad--reporting in from the frontlines...I don't know how I'll possibly be able to pick Ketih up at the airport tomorrow night! It is beautiful though. I love that I was able to lay down in the middle of the street to take photos...This is all very exciting.Snowy Moon
How apt is it that the name for February's moon is Snowy? Very apt indeed! So looking forward to a day of alternating chilliness/warmth...Snow walks and baths, snow pictures and hot chocolate. Even doing laundry and dishes sounds cozy right now. And oh, the weeding through of the detritus surrounding my life...
I Feel Like It's Christmas Morning!
Fell asleep to snow falling, woke up to snow falling...I can't remember the last time I have been in such a storm as this--a blizzard, if you will! By 4:30 this morning, Baltimore already had 20 inches of snow! It's been snowing since 11:15 yesterday morning and not expected to stop until 8 tonight! Oh how I wish Keith were here to revel in this beauty with me...I love how Baltimore really makes snowy days into holidays! Driving home yesterday was like going through a ghost town...No cars on the road, no people walking about...I wonder if the main streeets are fine? Back here on this side street--it's snow snow snow. Each car just buried! I couldn't get out if I wanted (no shovel)! It is so unbelievably beautiful. Last night the backyard was lit and glowing as though it were daytime...It's almost snowy walk time (it's still 7:30 in the morning--girl woke me up, tromping around up there...)!

Oh No!
The reading was postponed due to snow! Same time, same place, next Saturday...In other news, Keith has gotten us into a real pickle by sending an email out to all 400 Hopkins Med students of all our furniture we want to sell before leaving...The only problem? People already want to buy our beds and such, and we're here for another five weeks!!! I think he jumped the gun on this one...Before we know it we'll be sleeping and eating on the floor...preparation for the hard beds of nepal? Only 33 more days!!!!!!!!! The countdown is so on...Let the packing begin.
