I love how 12 days ago, I wrote about missing “real snow…the kind of snow that accumulates to a foot,” and then voila! They’re calling for 12-18″ of snow in Roanoke! Hardy har har. If I say it, it will come.

Jeff was able to leave work early today as did a lot of other people and I sat outside to wait for him (and to watch the snow fall). Leave it to me to only use the deck in the winter. It was very peaceful and lots of cars actually drove through the grassy part of our apartment community to cut through our parking lot from the main road because there was an accident and lanes were backed up. I saw one truck go up the hill sideways and it took Jeff and hour to drive what would normally take 20 minutes. I don’t think SW Virginians are used to these driving conditions. And of course I had to do a little time-lapse with my iPhone of the snow fall. It automatically stopped shooting at 1000 frames so here it is to the tunes of Matt Pond PA’s Snow Day:
