The Duration

Some time-lapse fun with the digital camera. I actually shoveled between 10:30 am and 11:30 am , however the only evidence of that is my footprints.

Cabin Fever

The camera is MIA so this post will be a text-only affair. It's been cold - I've repeated that time and again this month. Since we were stuck inside for fear of losing a limb to frostbite we accomplished a handful of thing that lingered on the to-do list. First off - we bought a drill. Not just any drill - the drill of my wife's dreams - a DeWalt 14.4 volt. I took this bad boy for a spin by finally countersinking our kitchen ceiling. For the encore I hung up the dust buster's charging base in the laundry room. Once everything was hung accordingly, I relocated our Airport Express to the stereo so I we can listen to the previous day's Marketplace and fancy rock music in a wireless fashion.

Come to think of it, I wished I'd moved the stereo remote to this chair and brought with me my cup of tea. I don't think I'm getting up anytime soon on account of this guy.
(thank goodness for Photo Booth and iSight)

Trapped Under Ice

The previously documented cold weather finally had something to show for it trouble this week - snow! ice! mayhem! On Wednesday they closed almost everything in the greater Washington metro area. Dawn's school was closed for the day so I stayed home from work too. The inclement weather had impeccable timing since I had come home with a sore throat the day before and needed a day's rest to get over it.

This morning I woke up renewed and refreshed, which was good since I had to push my car out of our driveway, which was encased in ice. The temperatures didn't get above freezing today so the driveway is still an ice rink. Hopefully, tomorrow morning will not be a double-header game of Honda Accord vs. Traction Be Damned.

In This Home of Ice

You may have heard how it's shockingly cold here in the D.C. metro area. We are now on our third day of below freezing temperatures and we don't get a break until this weekend. I wanted to show you just how cold it is, however Flickr is cranky tonight and not uploading my pictures. Therefore I am reduced to explaining how on Monday morning I noticed that there was ice on our front door windows - ice on the inside of the door. Now, I knew we had a drafty door, however I didn't know it sucked this much. So, I hear by pledge that I will at the least replace the weather stripping around the door. I may even go so far as replacing the whole door. First however, it needs to warm up a bit.

I'll attempt to post the pictures tomorrow.
