We've had several hours, now, of huge flakes.

This is from earlier this morning:



Probably have ~3" out there now. And sometimes, it came down fast and furious:



When we woke up this morning at 0530, our system's schools hadn't made the call yet...as it was still just raining and 40F at the airport. An hour later, they cancelled...but still nothing. Within minutes though, the temps dropped 5F or more and it had started to come down. So at 0530 they looked smart, at 0630 dumb, and by 0730...they'd done everything...well, shhhh, right. LOL

This is the age we live in. Forecast calls for a little snow, mix it in with a bit of apocalypse scenario and call it news. This is like the j011yroger of snowstorms in dc

We got nothing but rain! And everything was closed. Pathetic. Now I have to rearrange an entire day to stand in line to make up the final I was supposed to take today. *shaking head*

i'm gonna test it out this wkd. never strung poly before.. oh what a biatch. my poor delicate callus free fingers that never sees harsh work (1st world problems). . i'm not sure if i even tied the knots right cause it was so hard to bend..

hopefully get a hall pass to play this wkd. oh who am i kidding, i never request for hall passes.

side note aussie. you need some duralast? i can def get you some. like 100 ft enough?

It is a nice shed, isn't it? We've got a HOA that, at first, was filled with a bunch of nosey-nellies, intent on keeping up with the Joneses, Jacks and Jills. The shed was built during that period and the neighbors were ultra-concerned with not rocking the boat, so to speak, of the language that said something like the shed had to be of the same "character" as the home (siding, color, roof pitch, blahblahblah). And truthfully, it didn't cost them much more to get the vinyl siding & shutters that turned it into a virtually maintenance-free building. A subsequent owner, with a register electrician father ran service out to it. Sweet!

They were a super-nice family and when we got the devastating news that they were moving, we were glad they got top-dollar for their home, right before the RE crash. They deserved it as the rest of their property was equally as well designed and maintained.

Luckily, the HOA was forced to back off on many of their wacked-out, super "strict" interpretations...and so many of the subsequent "sheds" are nowhere near that nice. Hubs wants one "like that" but "bigger" (of course)...so we're having to build up the $$ reserves to make it happen. Where are the Man-Cave Crashers when you need 'em?
