Three Amigas & Yosh

Today Lucy's Mom kindly agreeed to host a "Play Date" with Nina-Skye & Diya. She picked-up the three little Amigas from school and they walked to Lucy's house. According her report, FUN was had by all. Here they are before all going home...the picture also included Diya's little brother Yosh!

They are ALL 2 Cute 4 Words!!!

A WEEK later and...

Well it's been a week since we received our record breaking Snow Storm...and it is STILL a problem. The left-over snow has caused massive traffic delays all week! Due to below normal temps, the snow just isn't melting quickly. Our arrogant Mayor has been riduculed for the way he and DPW are handling the snow clean-up. Instead of clearing all of the lanes & clearing the sides they are waiting for Mother Nature to get rid of it instead. Since a lot of sidewalks are not shoveled people are walking in the streets, which also ties up traffic! Car accidents have reached a dramatic increase as well as pedestrian accidents. Here is a shot I took while sitting in traffic trying to make my way to Nina-Skye's school...

Death at A Funeral

Did ya'll know I am starring in my First Movie...yea...yea...I'm next to Colombus Short in the back row!

Sike! LOL! I'm looking forward to Chris Rock & Martin Lawrence's new comedy when it comes out in April 16!

Happy Valentine's Day

DC's SNOWMAGGEDON - To SUM it all up!!

The record snowfall that hit the Washington, D.C., area in the past week created havoc for the federal government, the District government, and probably all metropolitan area residents. With two near-blizzards dumping three feet of snow on a region that normally gets 15 inches of snow in an entire season, even the hardiest residents knew that they would be snowbound for days. Schools closed for a week and the federal government shut down for three and a half days, costing an estimated $350 million in lost productivity, according the Office of Personal Management. To make matters worse, the Washington Area Metropolitan Transit system was twice forced to halt above ground transportation, both bus and rail. People who made it into work on Friday were stuck in five-hour traffic jams that normally would take less than an hour to complete.

However, you describe it, the last week in the nation's capital was a HOT mess!

{To hear the Video below...1st scroll to the bottom and pause the music player}

Here we SNOW again!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Can you believe that the DC Metro Area has received ANOTHER 10.8" of Snow? And that snow came with Thunder! Which now makes this the MOST Snow this area has received in February in over 100 YEARS! The National Weather Service declared a 24-hour blizzard warning for the Washington-Baltimore region. The usually traffic-heavy roads of the capital were deserted, while the city's famous sites and monuments were covered with snow. Check out this picture below... there are FIVE cars parked on the street in this shot...but you can only see the two SUVs! WOW!

CAN YOU DIG IT?!?!?

Here is our neighbor Matt shoveling the walkway.

GEESH!!! Now Arnold has to dig out the truck...AGAIN?!?!?"I'm The SNOW QUEEN of DC!!!"We are ALL "Officially"...

Awwww...look at this Stylish doggie at Lincoln Park...enjoying a game of Frisbee.

It was a record snowfall. It is nice to be part of history!

Here comes the "BIG SNOW" Fo' Sho'

Beginning Friday, February 5th, the Washington Metro Area began getting snow...and LOTS of it! More than 2 feet of snow recorded in parts of the area. Here is hubby getting a headstart on shoveling, while it was still snowing.
This was the worst snowstorm to hit the Washington, DC area in over 90 years! Look at the mess it left behind and it won't be gone for days -- or weeks -- or MONTH! Here's our little Penguin out in the record breaking snow!

Arnold's artistic eye caught this Beautiful shot! Holy Snow Cat! LOL!According to the news two local airports received the following amounts of this wintry white stuff:
"Washington Reagan National Airport received 17.8 inches of snow"
"Thurgood Marshall BWI Airport received 26.5 inches of snow"...which meant planes weren't flying, Amtrak trains weren't running AND Metro above ground trains or buses were suspended as well. All of the regions schools and the Federal Government were CLOSED. In other words, the Nations Capital and surrounding areas was SHUT DOWN!

The local news also reported that the weight of the snow along with heavy winds caused a lot of power outages across the region. So now image those poor people who were snowed-in AND didn't have any Power OR Heat!!!

We were VERY grateful that our power remained on...

Now this snow started on a Friday and can you believe that they are reporting that ANOTHER storm will hit the region on TUESDAY?!?!?

Until then...we will be "Chillin' Like Penguins!"

STAY TUNED!!!
