Just a little rain

The great winter storm moving across the northeastern part of the country today was only supposed to give us some light rain/freezing rain mix, according to our trusty, reliable weather readers here in the District.

I made my way to church about three blocks away, and here's what the church looked like before Mass:



and then after Mass:



After Mass, facing an impending unforecast blizzard, I wandered across the street to Trader Joe's to pick up groceries and rations to get us through the storm. Here's a view of the church from across the street.



It's a pretty snow. Now that I'm back home and upstairs, I look out and it's really coming down. It's kind of a nice day for the snow, too, since there's little wind and the temperature is fairly warm. We have more snow today than when we had our "heavy snows" forecast earlier this month. Hope it sticks around for a while.
