Thanks sir! We spend a ton of time out there in the warmer months…we have a two seat glider from a local Amish place on the other side of the deck under an awning from the roof. I sit on it and glide during a rainstorm in the summer or during a snowstorm. So relaxing
and yeah, that’s the grill and the weather station (anemometer is in a different spot).
Got here about an hour ago. 22.9 and light snow. No idea how much new snow has fallen today - anywhere from 12-25” on the ground depending on the spot in the yard.
This storm is going to be a beast. Not surprised by the blizzard warnings for the coast. Coastal NJ to SNE are going to get clobbered. There’ll be some impressive totals come Sunday.
Old Fashioned, Margarita, Martini, Moscow Mule, Gin / Club Soda, Mojito, Daiquiri, Mai Tai, Pina Colada (don’t care for the last 3).
Probably got -1 for replacing Tonic with Club Soda.
It's funny. Just by seeing this (and knowing nothing about the tracking the last week), I'd say we were staring at a MECS. Just a bit late getting the trough to go negative is the story for us.
Same thoughts on Old Town. I love the charm / history of it but unless we had offstreet parking, I'd go out of my mind trying to park there every. single. day.
Our friends lived there for years but eventually moved out to Fairfax County for more room - that was the one issue they talked about too...the lack of transit. Although they moved out to the suburbs so there's that ha.
Honestly, we really like the neighborhood we moved into over the spring '21 - Beverley Hills in the North Ridge area of Alexandria. Super convenient to 395/DC (and Del Ray & Old Town) but still very quiet with homes that were built in the 1930s with lots of character, curb appeal, and a great "neighborhood feel". Probably wouldn't want to live anywhere else in this area.
At some point, we'll likely move but not sure where - maybe the lakes region in NH or TN or SC - somewhere in the east. I still have like 25 years until I retire so a long way to go lol
