(Let's pretend this topic isn't five years old. I dug it out of a snowbank.)
So far, we have 21" in Gaithersburg, and it's still snowing. We also lost power for about 3 hours last night.
I took this picture when it just began snowing. Notice the tarps on the cars. This is my new plan to reduce the hassle of scraping off the snow.

Saturday morning. 21", higher drifts all over, trees bent to the ground.

Back deck.

Chloe's having fun, though.

Even Snowball likes it.

Me? Not so much.

Don't eat that yellow snow!

A couple of enterprising young men stopped by Sunday morning and offered to shovel my driveway. I don't think they understood what they were getting into, so I upped their offer and even then dismissed them early. It was worth the price just to get this far ahead. And the tarps worked great! I'm going to buy a couple more so I can cover both cars entirely.
