Snow In VA!

I swear-we move down South and the snow follows. We probably jinxed ourselves since we left every single snow shovel up North and I did not buy Preston or myself any boots or snow gear. Thank Heavens the snow pants Aunt Melski bought Preston last year still fit (a little snuggly and a bit short but hey we had to make do). It is really very pretty. Even though this weekend it is going to be in the high 60's and I will be wearing flip flops. I was supposed to start my new job today but we were closed.

Here is the difference between VA and NY. In NY before the snow falls the plows have put down enough sand to replicate a beach and enough salt to guarantee a dirty car for months. Then the plows come every single hour. So far there has been no plow here. My parents are the only ones who shoveled their driveway so I am dying to watch everyone attempt to get their non-SUVs out of the driveways tomorrow. Second they had about 210 people to clear the roads here versus 4500 just in the five boroughs. Preston who was not super into snow last year had a blast today. I have put together a slideshow to memorialize this event since if there is snow here it totals a dusting to an inch or two and we were told this never happens! I mean there was some dude in the store yesterday buying four gallons of milk. That was a little much-we are not going to be stranded for a month.

Here is our Snow Day! I was going to do a slideshow but the images were too grainy so I picked my faves from today. I took gorgeous pictures (over 60 with lots of Preston) and I have an album for those in New York coming on Kodak.
