Mrs.J

Ok so I don't need to get bread, milk or TP for Wednesday. Already did my shopping run last Friday. But I do need to decide what to bake/cook. I already have ingredients to make Chicken Noodle Soup, but need to see what I may need extra for a baked good.

Wow...where was that.

340 E near Jefferson was down to one lane due to downed trees. Reports of down power lines all over. Currently pouring down rain. 

31/30 and rain/sleet. Starting to get an ice build up on my rose bushes. 

Husband could not make it into work with his MX 5. RWD and snow no go. FCPS MD did not dismiss early, which I was fine with, and I just have to say our bus drivers rock! We live on a rural route and both my girls made it home safe and relatively on time. 

Just had this come up on Twitter. Have never seen a statement like this before.

+1.  I've experienced it twice this winter in upstate NY a couple of times I've driven instead of flying to VT.  First time(s) for me.  They are remarkable and worth the trip.

I grew up with them. While the East end of Lake Erie gets most of it, it also could ramp up on the West end. 

Sun is peaking out over here now.

Yep I was in that. I am about 12 miles ENE of Brunswick. Poor birds on my feeder were all going nuts getting blown around.

Paging @Mrs.J? And can you snag more awesome pics during this mini-event, plz?

Taking the chill off for tonight and cooking with the heavy stuff. 

No words!

Dumping snow up here. Can barely see the rest of the neighborhood. 

Big fat fluffy flakes over here in Frederick. Grass surfaces are covered and pavement is starting to cave. Looks like the schools got it right this time with the early dismissal. All grade levels were home before it started. 

Occasional flurries over here. FCPS MD letting out 3 hrs early. 33.1/26

Fairfax co already w a 2hr early dismissal tmrw.

Was wondering who was going to start the party. 

Funny that I am in Fred Co MD and I bet we don’t get a call till 5 am tomorrow for anything. 

Spent my weekend with these two cuties at Frying Pan Park in Herndon for an overnight show. 5 layers deep and a heated bathroom in the indoor arena but we had a fun weekend. 

This cold weather has put me in a comfort food mood. Just made fried potatoes from scratch to go with breaded pork chops tonight.

Today I made brownies. 

Baking/cooking during winter events has become a household tradition! 

Thank you @Mrs.J! 

Awww thanks! 

Forget maps and forecasting. You all just need to ask me how my head feels. Seriously the pressure in my head is never wrong. 

Darn it! Knew I should not have gotten chocolate chips to make cookies this weekend. Just got issued a WSW for ice! I 

Sun melted the snow off half of our solar panels. Had the avalanche come down. Went out into the street to see what was left and if sunny tomorrow the other side will go.

What's the likelihood Montgomery County will call off tomorrow?

Frederick County will call a 2 hr late start at 5 am with a re-evaluation by 7. I will be totally surprised if they do anything tonight.

I’m nosing in on @Mrs.J turf with snow baking but decided to make this today. Apple tart

 

That looks amazing!!! Love anything apple. 

On another note sat down and watched Dumplin’ with my 15 year old daughter today. WOW!! I had to bust out the box of tissues. I recommend to anyone to watch it especially if you have daughters. 

Child #2 trying out the lightning fast impulse buy. 

Frederick, MD 4” wet snow. 29.0/26. Sent the man out to clear the drive. Child #2 after cleaning her bathroom will be testing out her new lightning fast spinner with the neighborhood kids. Child #1 is now 15 and the thought of getting into snow gear is past her.
