In case you were wondering. . .
we really are getting hammered by snow in the northeast US this winter. Here's my neighborhood:
I tried to take Archie out for a walk around the block, but he had other plans. Here he is, pulling me home after we were out for about 10 minutes:
See those people ff to the right? You can hardly see them because the snow is falling so heavily. They were about 50 feet away.

As bad as this looks, I have to give a lot of credit to the City of WIlmington. After last Saturday's storm dumped more than two feet on us, the city's plow trucks and salt trucks made the roads safe for travel the next day. I'm not sure they'll be able to replicate that feat this time around, just because the snow is falling so quickly and so heavily - 20 minutes after I shoveled my front steps, they were covered with another half inch of snow. So, I have a feeling that Archie and I are going to be snowed in for a while.
It's not just me, this weather is tough on everyone - I had the sad task of informing my parents that their flight had been cancelled, and they just would have to stay in the Caribbean for another two days. I know they're dying to get back home to get started shovelling their driveway, but they'll just have to wait for that fun!
